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.

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!
