“HEC enables me to think globally, while acting locally.”

Tom Probasco, recently retired from Indianapolis’ Central Library, originally moved to Indiana’s capital city in 1978. However, he’s from a small town in Ohio and had a father who owned a popular local barber shop in Xenia until it closed. In addition to supporting HEC and volunteering for Citizens Climate Lobby, Tom writes poetry and plays harmonica in an Indianapolis-based folk-rock band called True North.

Tom is fearful of climate change and the documented ways it is already impacting communities in Alaska and on the Gulf Coast. He says he supports HEC because we help him track state legislation that will potentially impact our state and national environment and provide detailed recommendations for email and phone communication with legislators, enabling him to “think globally, while acting locally.”
