WHAT: Moms Clean Air Force, Buckeye Environmental Network, and Between the Waters will gather at the Ohio State Capitol with State Representative Crystal Lett on Wednesday, April 15 to urge Ohio leaders to safeguard communities from petrochemical and plastics industry buildout.
Communities across Ohio are already exposed to pollution from existing petrochemical facilities that harm public health and accelerate climate change. At the same time, the plastics supply chain is exposing families to toxic chemicals, including microplastics and PFAS, that are increasingly linked to serious health risks.
Advocates and experts are calling for protections. Proposed expansions would lock Ohio into decades of additional plastic production, more fracked fossil fuel infrastructure, and greater pollution for frontline communities. Tune in to hear from public health experts, environmental advocates, and community members dealing with the impacts firsthand.
