They were inspired by an appropriate technology movement that had built in response to E.F. Schumacher’s ground-breaking book “Small is Beautiful,” which called for “technology with a human face.”  \nLate in the spring of 1979, a new Environmental Resources Engineering (ERE) faculty member—Peter Lehman—arrived on campus. Peter had plans to teach a summer course entitled “Design and Build Your Own Solar Water Heater” and received a grant from HSU President Alistair McCrone to do so. He contacted Youth Educational Services (YES) director Pamela Kambur, seeking a location on campus where his class could install the solar heater they were building. Pamela put him in touch with Karin, Peter, and Louis and CCAT was born.  \nThe group searched the campus and settled on the Buck House as a location for the solar project anda future home for CCAT. The house was so dilapidated and the grounds around it were so overgrown that the house was slated to be burned down for an arson investigation class. Undeterred, Peter and his class installed the solar water heater during the summer of 1979. Then during the next academic year, the small group gathered more supporters and went about securing permission to use the house to demonstrate appropriate technology. With strong support from Vice President Edward“Buzz” Webb and Facilities Director Don Lawson, permission was finally granted.  \nDuring the summer of 1980, Kirk Girard, Sandy Peterson, and Kelly Gillogly—the first CCAT  \nco-directors—moved into the Buck House and work began. The new directors and student and faculty volunteers reroofed, repainted, rewired, replumbed, insulated, and generally refurbished the house. The grounds were cleaned up and later that year the Associated Students program known as the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology became a reality. Over the years, the Center added to the original solar water heater by incorporating a photovoltaic system, a composting toilet, a food and heat producing attached greenhouse, greywater marsh, wind turbine, permaculture design, a large organic garden, pedal-power machines, and much more.  \nMission Statement What is Appropriate Tech?  \nCCAT strives to demonstrate that living lightlyon the earth is both practical and rewarding. We are dedicated to sustainability and to help others live likewise. We seek to accomplish this mission by:  \n1. Demonstrating appropriate technology in a residential setting.  \n2. Dispelling the myth that living lightly on the earth is difficult or burdensome.  \n3. Collecting and disseminating information about appropriate technology.  \n4. Examining the ethical and social consequences of technology  \nAppropriate Technology (AT) describes a way of providing for human needs with the least impact on the Earth’s finite resources. When determining if a technology is appropriate for a specific use, we at CCAT examine a number of issues: is the technology bu","cbCaivDFb3PlewjT","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivDFb3PlewjT","pdf",6735162,18,"English","# CCAT Begins\n# History\n## Connection to Academics\n## Funding\n## Publicity\n## Events\n## Services\n# CCAT Club\n# CCAT Projects\n## Community Garden\n## Physical Site\n# Staff\n# Special Thanks","[{\"question\":\"What inspired the formation of CCAT?\",\"answer\":\"CCAT was inspired by the appropriate technology movement responding to E.F.
