Learn how FRACKING

Fracking and Climate

Fracking releases a lot of methane, which is 80 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. We can’t meet our climate goals while fracking our state parks.

Fracking and Democracy

The people of Ohio want our state parks and public lands to be protected. Yet the state is catering not to we the people who pay for and own this land, but to the destructive and polluting oil and gas industry.

Fracking and Health

Thousands of scientific studies have documented that fracking is linked to cancer and other harms to human health. Our state parks should be a refuge for health, not methane flaring and toxic chemicals.

The Ohio Oil and Gas Land Management Commission oversees approval of leases to extract from public land. Write to them at Commission.Clerk@oglmc.ohio.gov and let them know you do not want fracking in or near our state parks.

Stand at Your State or Local Park
