Here’s what we’re working on in Ohio:

Stop FirstEnergy Hikes Accountability Campaign

  • As a founding partner in the Stop FirstEnergy Hikes Accountability campaign, Moms Clean Air Force is asking its Ohio members to visit the campaign website and sign a pledge not to switch electricity providers to FirstEnergy Solutions until FES switches its position on energy efficiency.

Green Cleaning in Schools and TSCA Reform

  • A group of moms in central Ohio expressed concerns about the use of toxic cleaning chemicals in schools.  These moms joined together and started working with their local school districts to educate parents about green cleaning in schools and help transition schools over to green cleaning programs.  This group meets monthly to actively support Safe Chemical Act (TSCA) reform and plan out their local campaign.

Ohioans for Clean Affordable Energy

  • Moms Clean Air Force has joined forces with a diverse group of organizations to form Ohioans for Clean Affordable Energy, a coalition dedicated to promoting and preserving our state’s energy efficiency resource standard and renewable portfolio standard. Members of the coalition plan to host community forums, town halls, roundtables, and other types of grassroots events.

Climate Change Chokes Lake Erie

Life by it's own design is cyclical. Spring follows Winter. Birth leads to Death. In a way, I find this comforting, I like to know what comes next. What I do not like, is when we are given a chance to correct a problem in our world and we do, but only for a short time…then …

Fight For Clean Energy In Ohio

This past year, we upgraded the insulation in our home and added a new energy-efficient furnace. Although Ohio's winter wasn't that harsh, with temperatures similar to those in 2011 and 2012, I was interested to see what these changes would mean for our wallet. Since our home has a newly improved seal from outside weather, …

Ohio Update: Green Cleaning In Schools

I used to think bleach was a clean smell, but now I understand that clean is when you smell nothing at all. Buying green certified cleaning chemicals for my own home is one way I protect my family. My son now spends close to seven hours a day in his Kindergarten classroom. So I began …

However, conservative news networks have come out against solar energy in the US. The issue of climate change has certainly amplified the line between the parties. As a conservative, I am …
