Ohio is becoming a dumping ground for fracking waste, and we’re already seeing this waste ending up in our streams. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is failing to ensure the safety of Ohio’s citizens and environment; it’s time for the US EPA to step in.

Under Ohio’s current proposed budget, half of the revenue from fracking in state parks would go to the Clean Ohio Fund - which exists to fund cleanups in Ohio. This funding structure guarantees a net loss for Ohio’s environment by funding cleanups by making a bigger mess, in our state parks.
Tell Your Senator right now that the path to a Clean Ohio is not through dirty fracking in our state parks!

Check Out Sierra Club Beyond Oil latest production The Dirtiest Oil on Earth, an animation on the dangers of tar sands, the world’s dirtiest oil from Alberta, Canada. The animation, created by Sierra Club Productions features narration by actor Joshua Jackson (Fringe, The Skulls, Dawson’s Creek) and highlights the dangers of spills, pipelines, accidents and the contamination of our air, water, and land.
Sierra Club is working to imagine a world with clean, abundant, affordable energy. One where climate disruption is a fading threat and American soldiers are never again deployed to defend oil fields. One where innovative green industries provide good jobs and supply 100 percent of our energy needs. Imagine a healthier America, with clean air and water, with pristine coasts and protected natural areas. A wealthier, more productive nation, whose leaders answer only to the citizens who elect them. This is America beyond oil.
