Our Mission
The Joplin Sustainable Technology Alliance (JSTA) advocates for accountable technology development by equipping local leaders, policymakers, and communities with actionable, data-driven frameworks. We protect local resources—air, water, and quality of life—while fostering ethical innovation.
Local standards matter.
Communities deserve guaranteed benefits.
Our approach is built on rigorous scientific research, technical analysis, and proven environmental metrics.
