About Us
The Environmental Education Council of Ohio
Mission
EECO leads in facilitating environmental education that fosters global
stewardship and a sustainable future for all Ohioans.
Vision
All Ohioans are environmentally literate and engage in decision making
that ensures sustainability for future generations.
Purpose
At EECO, it is our mission to be a leader in the promotion and
facilitation of Environmental Education (EE), and to nurture knowledge,
attitudes and behaviors. We want a healthy and sustainable environment
and the key to this is education. Through EECO, individuals and groups
are not only educated, but also develop partnerships with other
individuals and organizations. These partnerships strengthen EE in Ohio,
leading to a more environmentally literate population and a healthier
environment.
