Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT)

The CCAT Club was renewed Fall 2018 to expand the network (we prefer web) of support for sustainable living on the Cal Poly Humboldt campus and beyond.

The mission of the CCAT Club is to bring people together around the ideas of the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (CCAT) and explore new ideas together. The Club can provide a greater number of volunteers, larger network of resources on campus and in the community, increase creative diversity of ideas, and allow for direct action by people not employed by CCAT.

Creativity is encouraged, so our Club language has developed an ongoing analogy to the many webs of life—calling people “strings,” calling positions “tangles”, and calling branches of the club “webs.” This language is intended to turn responsibility into fun, grab attention, and embody the creative and non-conventional ways of thinking that CCAT values in building a better world.
