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
