With Earth Day right around the corner, Indiana University’s Environmental Resilience Institute is recognizing a dozen Indiana residents for their dedication to creating a more sustainable and resilient Hoosier state — one where the economic and environmental benefits of climate-friendly communities are shared by all.
Across Indiana, these Hoosier Resilience Heroes are applying themselves to promising climate and environmental solutions, including regenerative agriculture, clean energy and environmental justice. They are farmers, students, volunteers, nonprofit leaders and local government staff.
“Some of our heroes have been working to educate others and address longstanding environmental challenges for decades; others have taken action more recently,” Environmental Resilience Institute Managing Director Sarah Mincey said. “They are all part of a growing network of Indiana sustainability champions who recognize our inextricable dependence on natural systems and who are rallying communities to make positive change. Thanks to these individuals, more Hoosiers recognize that a resilient future and a thriving environment go hand in hand.”
