Who We Are

We’re a grassroots organization whose purpose is to address the reality of global warming in fossil fuel country of western Pennsylvania. Our goal is to educate, propose and move towards implementation of real solutions to address this threat to our planet.

We are made up of faculty, students, and local concerned citizens. We are not offically endorsed by Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Find out why: read IUP Administration’s letter.

We are always looking for more people who want to get involved. Keep checking back on this website for updates on our events, or email Susan Zimny at szimny@iup.edu to get on our IUP Focus the Nation mailing list.
