We all have important values and ideas, things we care about. Take a moment to think of the BIG PICTURE, OUR PLANET.
We feel our ideas can change the world, and, perhaps even save it. We want to let you know how you can join in and make
all life better: for a truly viable future!
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.

What WE Do: One prime focus for us is developing and performing timely study and
research projects.
The Genuine Progress Indicator study was completed
in 2011! Be sure to read about it and its results on the lowest left menu option.
UPEC is a
growing coalition of Utahns concerned about population growth and unsustainable environmental impact in Utah, the United States,
and the World.
As a coalition we also work in the community to raise awareness about the serious consequences of unchecked population
growth and unsustainable practices.
Please also see "Vital Signs" and our 2007 Ecological Foot Print Study.

| "The future is in our hands: it is our responsibility" |
UPEC is an active
community coalition that works to raise public awareness about the devastating effects of unsustainable consumption and population
growth. We have booths at various community events including the Utah Education Association conferences, Earth Day
celebrations, and more. We also provide training, both to educators and to school classes,
to teach what people can do at home, work and around the community to make the future better. We increase awareness
on critical issues! Please go out to our Facebook page by clicking
on the green link above. Or go to our blog to comment or learn more about current topics.
Landscape Arch (pictured in the upper left corner of our webpages) reflects the fragileness
of the earth relative to human activity impact. In the 1990's major tonage of the arch fell, indicating that this geologic
timepeice may very soon fall. Likewise, our very earthly habitat is sensitive and may
soon fall, not to erosion, but to human impact, in our consumption and our vast growing numbers. Our overuse
of resources and carbon dioxide generation from using fossil fuels can easily threaten human civilization itself.
