Founded in 1980, the nonprofit Michigan Environmental Council now represents more than 70 environmental, public health and faith-based organizations, offering research, communications and technical support and providing an effective voice for the
environment at the local, state and federal levels. Working with our member groups and their collective membership of 250,000 residents, MEC is fighting to guard our water, protect our land resources from sprawl, defend public health from pollution, promote cleaner energy for a stronger economy, and open up the environmental decision-making processes of government.
