Our Mission
We believe
it is our responsibility as citizens of the earth to be concerned about the environment, sustainability, and population. Furthermore,
we place special value on the unique heritage and landscape of the state of Utah. History
The first organizational meeting of the Utah Population and Environment Coalition was on December 17, 1997. The
Coalition received three small grants from the National Audubon Society that assisted in our efforts from Sept. 1998 through
June 2002. Since then the Coalition has continued to address the on-going concerns of population increases and resource consumption
in Utah, particularly along the Wasatch Front.
In spring 2005 UPEC became a membership
organization. UPEC is a program component of the Wellness Health and Lifestyle Education (WHALE) Center, a 501(c)(3) organization.
