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.
The Clean Water Campaign is on the move. To find out more about resources and events in your area, contact matt.trokan@sierraclub.org
Political Committee
The Ohio Chapter Political Committee works to endorse and promote pro-environment candidates at the local, state, and national level. Political Action Committee (PAC) donations are also used to support endorsed candidates.
The committee meets regularly and encourages volunteer participation, particularly during the busy campaign season, to assist with research, phone calls, mailings, and candidate interviews. We are also looking for longer-term volunteer committee members who have knowledge of Ohio politics and wish to be part of the endorsement process.
Contact Melanie Braithwaite, Political Committee Chair, if you would like to get involved.
