Ohio is moving to ban radioactive brine on our roads! 🚗 This is a true bipartisan effort as Rep. Ritter (R) joins Reps. Brennan and Rader (D) to call HB 439/SB 329 common sense safety for our water and roads. Let’s protect Ohio! abc6onyourside.com/news/local/o...

The Senate doesn't speak for the Ethics Committee. Their "crashed and burned" comments don't reflect the actual investigation process. We are still pushing for the truth about Senator Chavez’s industry ties. No more distractions. 🔍⚖️ signalohio.org/ethics-commi...

What is the Freepoint factory pumping into our air? Join Buckeye Environmental Network for an info session on Licking County’s air quality and the risks of plastic pyrolysis. Feb 12 | 6:30 PM | Lakewood Library RSVP: https://bit.ly/PlasticInfo2

Who is Sen. Brian Chavez really representing? While he faces an ethics complaint over hidden oil & gas ties, the industry is naming him a "Legend." Is he serving Ohio families or the companies he regulates? benohio.org/who-is-senat...

Ohio road brine is often radioactive oil waste. SB 329 and HB 439 are companion bills in the House and Senate to ban it for good. We deserve safe water, not toxic runoff. Tell your reps to support the ban. bit.ly/bentoolkit

The Ohio EPA just caught Freepoint Hebron with 9 malfunctions and unpermitted hazardous air emissions. If they can’t follow basic safety laws now, we can’t trust them to start processing toxic PVC waste. Hebron deserves clean air. https://ow.ly/qyr850Y5uCM

🚨 Ethics complaint filed against Ohio Sen. Brian Chavez. Allegations claim he failed to disclose ties to 5 oil & gas companies while chairing the Senate Energy Committee and fast-tracking industry legislation. Public trust shouldn't be for sale. 🛢️⚖️ https://ow.ly/MSHa50Y4Ugy

Washington County residents filed an ethics complaint over possible conflicts tied to injection well legislation. Instead of answering the facts, state leaders attacked the messengers. Clean water and transparency should not be controversial. www.wtap.com/2026/01/21/w...

Ohio deserves roads free of radioactive oil & gas waste! 🛣️ Join us Jan 26 @ 12 PM for a virtual phone bank to support HB 439 & SB 329. Let’s tell our legislators to ban toxic brine application for good. 📢 Register here: bit.ly/4jE4cCR

🚨 NPR’s Ohio Newsroom launched a 3-part investigation on fracking wastewater. Millions of gallons of oil & gas waste are stored underground across eastern Ohio. In one southeast Ohio city, residents are raising serious concerns. Ohio isn’t a dumping ground. https://ow.ly/Fm8K50Y0bTf

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...

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...

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
