The Great Lakes Compact, signed in 2008, has the potential to safeguard our water supply and foster healthy, sustainable and vibrant communities for centuries to come. HB 473 breaks that promise and allows industry virtually unlimited water while leaving little for the public and environment.
Take Action!
Tell Governor Kasich to Restore the Clean Ohio Fund
In 2008, Ohio voters passed a bond measure — the Clean Ohio Fund — to support greenways and farmland preservation, brownfield clean up, and recreational trails. Despite overwhelming support and benefits from Clean Ohio programs, no funding has been allocated for the last two years.
Tell Governor Kasich to help make Ohio cleaner and greener and fully allocate Clean Ohio Funding!
Watch the Clean Water Campaign video
In 2010, Aveda and Siera Club Ohio Chapter raised $65,000 for the Clean Water Campaign. Check out what we are doing in the Sierra Club Ohio Clean Water Campaign Video.

Coal Committee
The Ohio Chapter Coal Committee works with Sierra Club volunteers, staff, and allies in other environmental organizations to move Ohio beyond coal and:
• Defeat new coal-fired power plants proposed for Ohio
• Shut down Ohio’s oldest and dirtiest coal-fired power plants
• Network with anti-coal activists in neighboring states
• Work the Ohio Sierra Club’s Energy Committee to publicize clean alternatives to coal-fired electricity
Contact Jean Godby, Coal Committee Chair, and consider joining our effort to implement a future in which we can all breathe a little easier. Learn more by joining our monthly conference calls, which are held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7pm. Check our events calendar for the date of the next call.
