We mustn’t let the Federal Government’s decision to frack in Ohio’s only National Forest go unchallenged. Submit a comment and tell the Bureau of Land Mgmt why this matters to you! Scoping period deadline is Jan 15. #nofrackingwayne #keepwaynewild

The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) is trying to frack the Wayne National Forest again. We have until Jan 15 to submit public comments and stop the lease of 41 parcels. Our forest is not for sale to an industry that leaves us with leaks and explosions. benohio.org/blm-once-aga...

Huge turnout at Tuesday’s forum! 🗣️ Hundreds of neighbors showed up to protect our water. With 2.8B gallons of waste injected in Washington County, the momentum for a moratorium is unstoppable. We won’t stop until our drinking water is safe! 💧 www.mariettatimes.com/news/local-n...

Chemical recycling is a false promise. It's toxic, unproven, and mostly turns plastic into fuel—not new materials. It's just Plan B for the fossil fuel industry to make more virgin plastic. Communities deserve better. Read the report: ohiorivervalleyinstitute.org/chemical-rec...

We're keeping the pressure on injection wells. Our Editorial Board demands the REPEAL of SB 315. Stop hiding hazardous fracking chemicals behind "trade secrets." Protect Ohio's water!! www.cleveland.com/opinion/2025...

An Oklahoma expert investigating toxic gas and oil wastewater brine migration and “surges” of waste injected at high pressure quit after 3 years when regulators refused to act. Now he’s speaking out. @nickbowlin.bsky.social @readfrontier.bsky.social: bit.ly/4oh7KMc @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social

We’re looking for 50 first time donors to support our work! Help fund our lawsuit against ODNR, push for statewide policy changes, and halt petrochemical expansion in Licking County! #GivingTuesday www.mightycause.com/donate/Bucke...

SHOCKER: Industry Bill SB 219 prioritizes profit over people. Sponsored by a Senator with deep oil/gas ties, this bill slashes public review time for fracking & grants permits for toxic waste injection wells in SEVEN DAYS—eliminating YOUR voice. 📰 bit.ly/4iwkwFo

OHIO IS THE DUMPING GROUND. We have 232 active toxic fracking waste wells (PA has 16). Lawmakers passed laws so drillers don't even have to disclose the chemicals being pumped into our earth. It will NOT stay put. This is a public health time bomb. 📰 bit.ly/3XjN8Ih

DeepRock's toxic brine migrated for a decade. Now, ODNR used repealed rules to permit a NEW DeepRock well (Stephan #1) near Marietta's drinking water. This is an unacceptable risk to our water supply. Read the full report & evidence: bit.ly/48l3qFN

7 DAYS TO GO! Next Tuesday, Dec 2nd, is #GivingTuesday, a global day for generosity. The Buckeye Environmental Network needs your support to expose illegal wells, fight polluters, and defend Ohio's air and water. Stand with us! ➡️ benohio.org/giving-tuesd...

2 WEEKS IN: Lawsuit vs. ODNR is HOT. Stop outdated fracking rules (1/2 mi vs 2 mi safety zone). Protect Marietta's drinking water NOW. Read how: bit.ly/43PXP90

3rd Violation in 1 Year! Freepoint Hebron pyrolysis plant illegally flaring toxic VOCs instead of using required controls. Public health is at risk. Stop permitting bad actors. 📰 bit.ly/3M1XU3h

Youngstown City Council will vote Nov 19 on renewing the pyrolysis ban. A yes vote stops SOBE Thermal’s toxic plan for another year. bit.ly/4idjwWG

Ohio regulators used outdated rules to approve new fracking waste injection wells near Marietta’s drinking water. Our lawsuit with @earthjustice.org pushes for accountability and real protections. bit.ly/49ZuGfo

ODNR approved new injection wells with outdated rules and now faces legal challenges. BEN and Earthjustice are stepping up for clean water and real accountability. bit.ly/3XvNATI

Buckeye Environmental Network and Earthjustice filed a lawsuit against ODNR for approving unlawful DeepRock injection wells near Marietta’s aquifer. Washington County residents are standing up for clean water. This is people power! 💧 bit.ly/3JKS8T6

Tune in tonight at 6pm ET to catch our very own @juliakane.bsky.social talk shop with @ohiorivvalleyinst.bsky.social and @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social. Be there or be square.

Ohio’s oil and gas lobby is racing to fast-track carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects across the state. Join The New Wild West webinar to unpack how this technology works, who benefits, and what’s at stake for Ohio’s future. Thursday, Nov 6 | 6 PM ET Register: bit.ly/42QMqFC

Pack the room for HB 439 this Wed, Oct 15 at 9 AM, Ohio Statehouse Room 116. Reps. Rader & Brennan will testify to end radioactive oil & gas waste on our roads. Show up early, dress sharp, and stand for clean water & safe communities. #HB439 #EndBrineSpreading

Fossil fertilizers are driving up food prices and fueling the climate crisis. In Lima, Ohio, Nutrien’s plant released 192 tons of nitrous oxide in 2024, a gas 273x more potent than CO₂. Agroecology feeds people, not polluters. #GlobalFertilizerDay

Some Ohio communities still unwittingly use toxic, radioactive waste brine as road deicers. Proposed H.B. 439 can stop it. @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social's Anton Krieger in Lakewood Observer: bit.ly/46Ff2CP @twrader.bsky.social @heartlandsignal.bsky.social @canarymedia.com @desmog.com

“Newly obtained public records show that the industry has worked hard to ensure the legislation prioritizes their interests over climate change concerns.”

Our team is working closely with Washington County residents to protect their water from poorly regulated injection wells and push ODNR to do better. www.mariettatimes.com/news/2025/07...

🌊 Ohio’s groundwater is in crisis. Columbus is sinking from overuse, and leaking injection wells may be polluting SE Ohio’s drinking water. Experts warn: without action, it’ll get worse. 🎧 Listen: www.wosu.org/show/all-sid... #OhioWater #WOSU

“They ruined our wells,” Bob Lane said at the meeting. “[But] my biggest concern is, I’ve got some great-grandchildren now, I look into their faces and I think, ‘What in the world are you gonna be drinking if something isn’t done about this?’” signalohio.org/ohio-landown...

Science journalist Justin Nobel in @sierraclub.org on Ohio's inability/refusal to protect gas and oil workers from radioactive gas & oil waste handling. Martin's Ferry Austin Master disgrace is featured. @alleghenyfront.bsky.social @saraedon.bsky.social @dispatch.com @buckeyeenviro.bsky.social

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.

Today at 1pm!

Join us tomorrow (Friday) at 1PM ET for an info session on the hazards of oil and gas waste road spreading and why your community should participate in our upcoming advocacy event at the Ohio Statehouse!
