Get informed
At IEC, we’re all about building power for people and the environment. We’ve found that the more informed and engaged you are, the more powerful our movement is. IEC harnesses that power as we work to educate decision makers and advance equitable environmental policies in Illinois.
With our abundance of helpful resources, you can brush up on some vital work happening throughout the state. Want a podcast-style experience so you can learn while going for a walk or cleaning up around the house? Head to our Lunch & Learn Archive for informative webinars on a broad range of environmental issues.
If you’re more interested in getting into the nitty-gritty of the policy side of our work, then consider looking through our Reports & Analyses. There you’ll find information on current environmental issues and even how legislators in Springfield and, more recently, in Chicago’s City Council have performed throughout their careers on environmental issues.
Lastly, if you’re looking for some interesting reads on a wide range of topics from clean energy to human composting (Really! Check that one out here), then IEC’s blogs are the place for you! Get a closer look at our team’s work by reading through our blogs now.
