Mission Statement
The mission of the Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) is to educate and advocate for the protection and conservation of Tennessee's environment, communities and public health.
Description
For more than thirty years, TEC has been working daily to protect the environment in Tennessee. TEC's efforts have been successful in protecting the Great Smoky Mountains, cleaning up the Pigeon River, reducing pollution from TVA's coal-fired power plants, and preventing degradation of high quality streams and the globally significant Rumbling Falls Cave system. Our authority comes from those we represent -- the citizens of this state. Whether in your community or in the State capitol, TEC speaks for thousands of Tennesseans all across the state. Your membership ensures that those voices are heard and respected every day in public hearings, during legislative debates, and by policy makers. TEC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1970.
