About Our Organization…
Purpose
            Support CCAT
At the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT) we value a healthy planet and its ethical treatment. CCAT seeks to demonstrate that living lightly upon Earth is neither difficult nor burdensome.
We accomplish our mission by showcasing technologies, which contribute to a healthy environment, sponsoring discussions about the ethical and social consequences of the use of technology, and providing a forum for experiential learning.

If you are interested in helping further the
goals of  CCAT, and would like to make a tax-
deductible donation, we are a registered
non-profit and gladly accept both material
and financial contributions
