Working together for a clean, healthy Ohio
Recent Federal and State policies have negatively impacted the work of environmental agencies and organizations. Join us for a presentation by the Ohio Environmental Council to understand how these policies impact the future of sustainability initiatives in Ohio and what we can do locally to advocate for a healthier environment.
