Failure to do so, means the world is headed toward sudden extinction by nuclear war or ecological degradation. The authors hope to encourage readers to make another choice by taking actions now that will ensure the next generations have a better future.
 

Petrochemical and plastic industry expansion is putting Ohio communities at risk.

Across the state, families are already dealing with air pollution from existing facilities, along with growing exposure to toxic chemicals like PFAS and microplastics linked to serious health impacts. New proposals would expand plastic production, increase fossil fuel infrastructure, and lock in decades of additional pollution.

Frontline communities, public health experts, and organizers are speaking out.
