Action Alert: We need your help to green Ohio's budget!

As the budget deadline of June 30th approaches, critical issues like protecting state parks from drilling, preserving the Scenic Rivers program, and promoting clean energy are on the line. In these tight economic times, we are not asking for program support from general funds. Instead, we encourage the protection of critical environmental programs through creative financing and fees, that will not require tax increases. The Ohio Chapter has conducted nearly 30 legislative visits regarding Ohio’s budget over the last few weeks, and we need your help. Act now!

Thank you Aveda Institute Columbus for Supporting the Central Ohio Clean Water Campaign

The Central Ohio Clean Water Campaign works for cleaner water and healthier communities by advocating for green infrastructure, water conservation, and watershed protection efforts that educate and activate central Ohio residents. In 2009, we partnered with Friends of the Lower Olentangy Watershed (FLOW) to support Backyard Conservation Courses and river clean-ups along the Olentangy River. Members from our Central Ohio Group participated in their second clean up on June 20, and gathered 8 big bags of trash and an old tire. The next river clean-up is scheduled in October. Please email Brandi Whetstone for more information.
