Dr. Randi Pokladnik and Jenny Morgan wrote letters to the Commissioners following their "yes" vote on allowing oil and gas waste brine to be used on roads. Buckeye Environmental Network followed up with a legislative packet and just a short time later we received excellent news! bit.ly/4hyIRs8

THANK YOU to our amazing supporters, attendees, and expert speakers for making the Statehouse Symposium a huge success🎉! #EnvironmentalJustice #CleanWater #ProtectOhio

@buckeyeenviro.bsky.social March 6 statehouse symposium drew activists across Ohio concerned about environmental & health risks from the state's lax regulation and poor waste management of gas & oil. @duanepohlman.bsky.social @karenkasler.bsky.social @kmkowalski.bsky.social @apnews.com

The Ohio Statehouse Symposium on fracking industry waste, put together by @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social, contained powerful testimony from affected residents. We hope the OH State Legislature takes action to stop the industry from continuing to spread their radioactive waste on public roads.
