“It is not easy to keep up with all the environmental policies in Indiana and I truly appreciate that HEC is dedicated to giving Hoosiers a voice.”

McKenzie Altman loves to read, birdwatch, learn, travel, hike, and canoe. She lives in Indianapolis now where she volunteers every Sunday for Food Not Bombs Indy while interning with the Marion County Commission on Youth (MCCOY), but she is originally from a small town in northern Indiana called Wakarusa.

Climate change is McKenzie’s number one concern “because it destroys ecosystems and may trigger mass migration of climate refugees.” She supports the Hoosier Environmental Council for our advocacy on climate change and other related issues, including wetland conservation and sustainable agriculture. She says, “It is not easy to keep up with all the environmental policies in Indiana and I truly appreciate that HEC is dedicated to giving Hoosiers a voice. Taking care of our natural environment is so important for our health and well-being.”
