The Ohio River Valley faces significant climate change impacts. Increased flooding, more intense heat waves, and altered precipitation patterns threaten communities, infrastructure, and the region's vital agricultural sector.
Expanded oil and gas drilling is polluting our air, water, and soil. Harming our natural areas and state parks. Not to mention creating areas of environmental injustice that is hurting marginalized communities.
Taking action is crucial.
By working to halt the expanded oil and gas mining, calling attention to the harm this industry is causing our region, transitioning to renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing sustainable land management practices, we can mitigate the worst effects of climate change and reckless oil and gas exploration, plastics production, protect our environment, and ensure a healthier future for the Ohio River Valley.
