[3][4][5][6] His son, Arturo Massol Deyá, a professor of Microbiology and Ecology at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez, is the assistant executive director of Casa Pueblo.
[7][8] Through voluntary participation of individuals and groups,[9] its mission is to explore, enjoy, and protect the wild places in Puerto Rico; to practice and promote the responsible use of the land's ecosystems and resources; to educate and enlist others to protect and restore the quality of the natural and human environment; and to use all lawful means to carry out these objectives, particularly in line with principles of radical democracy, community self-management, and anti-colonialism.
In 1985, the organization acquired a house that was converted into a headquarters for the group and as a non-governmental, independent, self-supporting, community cultural center.
Casa Pueblo advocates for public investment in wind, solar, and other renewable energy; for the creation of green jobs and efficient energy use; and against the development of new destructive mining projects.
[10][22][23][24][25] Some have compared the goals of Casa Pueblo to those of the neo-Zapatistas and the Rebel Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities.
