IN LOVING MEMORYOF MJ ECKHOUSEThis issue of GreenWatchis dedicated in lovingmemory of MJ Eckhouse,our talented colleague,dear friend, creative force,and fierce warrior for equity and justice. Many of thewords you read and images you see in this publicationwere masterfully crafted by MJ. We honor his immensecontributions to the OEC and to our movement, todayand everyday.As I write this, it’s hard to predict what will happen as people make their voices heard in the run up to Election Day or what theelection results will mean for environmental leadership across our state or our nation. But we will continue to show up with you andbecause of you.As we contemplate the gravity of the challenges we currentlyface—an ongoing pandemic, racial unrest, a renewed battleagainst Statehouse corruption, and the most importantelection of our lifetimes—I am propelled by a deep senseof gratitude for everyone who has been a part of the OhioEnvironmental Council’s journey.We also hope to demonstrate how guaranteeing a healthyenvironment for all Ohioans also means ensuring strongerpublic health outcomes, a prosperous economy, and equalrights and respect for everyone, regardless of race, income,zip code, or background.Turning challenges into opportunities is difficult work. But,as my time with Ohio’s environmental champions alwaysreminds me, when we come together to act collectively, webuild our power and we rise to the challenge. Shoulderingthe burden together makes the work sustainable andfulfilling. It breeds compassion and camaraderie. And it givesus the strength to take on the root causes of the systemicchallenges plaguing our communities.The good news is that since our beginnings as the OhioEnvironmental Council, we have proudly worked withpartners, leaders, and communities across the state toachieve a healthier environment for all. As we take onthe challenges of 2020 and beyond, we are committed tobroadening that Council and to building a more “leaderfull”movement. We are committed to intentionally lifting upthe unique passions and perspectives of many diverseindividuals and organizations and working collaborativelytogether.As we continue advocating for Ohio’s environment, wecontinue to learn and grow together. One lesson 2020 hasreinforced is that our fight for a healthy environment is oftenlinked to the fight for social justice. While everyone deservesclean air to breathe, safe water to drink, and nearby natureto explore without fear or threat of violence—not all Ohioanshave access to these critical components of a healthyenvironment.This mission has never been more important. And it's allthanks to supporters like you. We are ready as ever to keepgrowing as we fight for a healthy environment for all. Asnews changes daily, please know that you can stay up-todate on how OEC is working to protect our environment andthe sanctity of our democracy by going to www.theoec.org.Stay safe, be well, and thank you for all you do.In this issue of GreenWatch, we seek to illustrate how ourenvironmental advocacy work intersects with economic,racial, and environmental justice: how “clean water for all”isn’t just a slogan, but a commitment to ensuring water flowsfrom your tap at a price you can afford; how preserving Ohio’sbeautiful parks and forests can support local economies;how our democracy shines brightest when every Ohio voterhas equitable access to the ballot box; how investmentin renewable energy policies means healthier air for all tobreathe.HEATHER TAYLOR-MIESLEExecutive Director2Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 210/29/20 7:28 AM
CLIMATE & COMMUNITYACHIEVING CLIMATE JUSTICE ACROSS OHIOFrom the idyllic countryside to the lively bustling of cities, Ohio is home to a remarkable amount of diversity — ecological,political, and personal. Despite our differences, we all share the need for a healthy, thriving environment, with the safewater, clean air, and vital public lands we rely on.Climate change is a threat to everyone. But it does not threaten everyone equally — just as the impacts of climate changelook different between Florida and California, the impacts of climate change are intensified by widespread problems suchas societal-level racism and income inequality. That’s why we are committed to achieving and supporting climate actionall across Ohio, in every community, regardless of income, race, or zip code.Northwest Ohio: SolarNeighborhood FutureImagine an Ohio communitytaking full advantage of solarenergy: what if that vacantlot from the old Kmart orthe brownfield left by an oldfactory were converted intospaces for solar arrays to produce clean energy for thelocal community? Community solar expands access tosolar for all. Local solar facilities are shared by multiplecommunity subscribers—including homeowners,renters, and businesses— who in turn reap theeconomic and environmental benefits of solar energygeneration. We continue to advocate for local andstate-level policies to make community solar projects areality, including projects in Toledo led by organizationslike Glass City Community Solar.

And theOEC is proud to be part of a statewideprogram that brings together publichealth and climate action. OhioClinicians for Climate Action (OCCA) isa coalition of Ohio healthcare professionals who advocatefor climate change solutions that protect the health ofour patients and communities. As we head toward theelection, OCCA is educating physicians on climate andhealth through the Cleveland Clinic Health and ClimateSymposium and providing patients with voter informationto help every eligible Ohioan show up to vote!

They’ve implemented changeslike the use of 100% renewable electric aggregation, efficiencyupgrades, solar installations, and LED streetlight conversions.Silverton is showing that small communities can act in big waysto create cost-savings, reduce pollution, and provide cleanerair for all. Now, many other local Ohio leaders are steppingup, with the help of Power a Clean Future Ohio, a statewidecoalition which supports Ohio communities in building aclimate plan that’s right for them.

CLEAN WATERTHERE’S NO PLACELIKE HOMELISA BROOKSCoalition on Homelessness & Housing in OhioYouth Housing Initiative CoordinatorThroughout the pandemic, my home—nestled in the heartof Athens County—has provided a sense of safety andsecurity for my family. But I know that’s not the case formany Southeast Ohio families.As a long-time advocate for those experiencinghomelessness, I have worked to meet the crisis needsof vulnerable youth and families in our rural community.While providing shelter meets a basic human need, thereare many complex needs to be met—including access toclean, safe, and affordable water in one’s home.the saying goes, there’s no place like"Ashome. But home isn’t much without life-sustaining utilities—including clean, safe,running water—one needs to survive."- Lisa BrooksWater insecurity has plagued Southeast Ohio for decades.Our water infrastructure is crumbling in many places andwater quality issues continue to negatively impact many ofour water systems, especially private well systems.The threats of water insecurity have grown more apparenteach and every day during the pandemic. As our neighborsspend more time at home due to job loss and lack of childcare, home water use has increased and driven up waterbills for those receiving municipal water. Given risingunemployment and few community resources, paying forwater has become more difficult for too many SoutheastOhio residents. Nonpayments further threaten the viabilityof our local water utilities who provide services on tightoperating budgets.We experienced some temporary relief: at the end ofMarch 2020, the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) issued a temporary order forbidding any publicwater system from disconnecting a customer because ofnonpayment and reconnecting households that had beenrecently disconnected at no cost. However, the Ohio EPAlifted the statewide moratorium on water shutoffs just afew short months later in July.Around the time the moratorium was lifted, Hocking,Athens, Perry Community Action (HAPCAP) a nonprofit,community-based organization and the Columbus Dispatchreported1 that there were at least 1,000 households at risk1: Columbus Dispatch, July 9, 2020: End of halt to water shut-offs has Appalachian counties worriedof water shutoffs in Hocking, Athens and Perry countiesalone and that the number is likely mirrored in othercounties across Appalachia.The lifting of the water shutoff moratorium unsettledmy colleagues around the state—from the hills ofAppalachia, to suburban main streets, to the denselypopulated neighborhood blocks of Ohio's major cities. Inour advocacy work, we have seen time and time again:it is extremely hard to take care of your children withoutrunning water in your home. If you can’t pay your waterbill, there’s a good chance you can’t pay your electric bill.If you can’t pay those utility bills, there’s a good chanceyou can’t pay your rent. And if you can’t pay your rent,there’s a good chance that you will face eviction andhomelessness.No person should ever be put in that desperate situation.While the pandemic has shone a bright light on theissue of water insecurity, it is clear that we need acomprehensive, long-term solution to ensure watersecurity for all. I am proud to work alongside our partnersin Southeast Ohio and at the Ohio Environmental Councilto ensure families continue to advocate for policysolutions to have access to clean, safe, affordable waterin their homes.To learn more about OEC's efforts on water security, please visit:theoec.org/blog4Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 410/29/20 7:28 AM
CLEAN AIR & RENEWABLE ENERGYOUR RENEWED FIGHT AGAINST HOUSE BILL 6MIRANDA LEPPLAOEC Vice President of Energy PolicyLast year, House Bill 6 (HB 6)—widely condemned as the“worst energy bill of the 21st century”—was signed intolaw. Now we know just how bad this bill really was.From the start, this was a bad bill for Ohioans. It saddledOhioans with monthly charges to provide a 1.3 billionbailout for outdated coal and nuclear plants. At the sametime, HB 6 gutted Ohio’s renewable energy and energyefficiency standards, risking over 114,000 Ohio jobs.After months of delays, closed-door dealings, and loudopposition from Ohioans, HB 6 passed in July 2019.Immediately after its passage, opponents, includingthe OEC Action Fund, sprang into action to give Ohiovoters a choice on this bill. This referendum effort facedunprecedented attacks. Waves of false and racist ads,threats to signature gatherers, and even more shadyclosed-door dealings made it impossible to gather theneeded signatures. It became even more clear somethingwas wrong with how this bill was passed.It is time for a change. It is up to us to create a healthierfuture for our state. With your support, the OEC’s cleanenergy team is working to make this a reality. AcrossOhio, we continue to educate and support cities asthey make the switch to renewable energy and investin energy waste reduction strategies which loweremissions and all of our electric bills. At the Statehouse,we continue to provide legislators with the informationthey need to make the right call on Ohio’s energy future.Supporters like you continue to make all of this happenby contacting your legislators, writing letters to theeditor, educating your friends, donating, speaking out,and more.Together, we will stand up against corruption in ourstate. We will tackle climate change. And we will buildthe renewable energy future Ohioans deserve.At the time of printing, the OEC Action Fund continues to call onlawmakers to immediately repeal HB 6. For up to date informationplease visit: www.theoecactionfund.org/take-actionOur suspicions were recently confirmed. On July 21, 2020,criminal charges were announced against former HouseSpeaker Larry Householder, who was subsequentlyremoved as Speaker, in what has been called the biggestpublic corruption scandal in Ohio history. According tothe complaint, FirstEnergy allegedly funneled more than 60 million dollars in dark money bribes to Householderand his cronies to secure the 1.3 billion bailout ofFirstEnergy’s two antiquated nuclear plants.This unprecedented corruption cannot go unchecked.While HB 6 must be fully and immediately repealed, wecannot stop there.Ohio’s energy future is at a crossroads. Ohioansoverwhelmingly support moving to renewable energy andditching dirty, outdated energy sources. Ohioans supportinvesting in the good paying careers of the renewableenergy and efficiency industries. Ohioans support cleanair and climate action, especially as climate changethreatens the health and safety of Ohioans, with thebiggest risks falling on communities of color and lowincome communities across the state.5Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 510/29/20 7:28 AM
DEMOCRACYAT THE CROSSROADS OFENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND DEMOCRACYCHRIS TAVENOROEC Staff AttorneyWhat does it look like for a government to work foreveryone—and in turn, our environment?"We explored that very question at the OEC’s third annual OhioPublic Interest Environmental Law Conference. Held virtuallyin late September, it offered nearly 200 attendees from acrossthe state—and across the world—the opportunity to learnand network together. Together, we explored the importanttheme, At the Crossroads of Environmental Justice andDemocracy.We learned about the historic implications of redlining.We dove deep into the inner workings of our upcomingredistricting process. We explored ways in which we canexpand safe, secure, and equitable access to the ballot. Wediscussed the impact of corruption at the Statehouse in thewake of House Bill 6 and heard about the power of local policyand ballot initiatives, where direct democracy often shinesbrightest.Our plenary session was The 2020 Fight for Democracy:Looking Back & Moving Forward. Organized with the help ofthe ACLU of Ohio, it explored how all of these issues intersectwith the ongoing fight against systemic and structural racism,economic injustice, and the many other conflicts facing useveryday.This year’s conference challenged how we view theintersection of environmental justice and our democraticprocesses. And it firmly underscored a fundamental truthabout our work: in order to ensure a healthy environment forall, we must guarantee a healthy and equitable democracy.While it is clear there is much work to do, I am grateful forthe opportunity to learn and grow with supporters like you inthe fight for Ohio’s healthy environment and just democracy.I hope you’re looking forward to next year’s conference asmuch as I am!For many, the American experience starklydiffers depending on your zip code. Yourzip code can determine whether you havethe ability to live in a healthy and cleanenvironment with cleans streets, adequatelighting, safety, healthy homes, clean and safeparks, clean water, clean air, and even if youhave the ability to have your vote counted inan election."- Devontá Dickey, Cleveland VOTESRedlining & the Power of Democracy"We need to increase public engagementaround the redistricting process to advocatefor fair maps that don’t harm the politicalvoice of key communities and to buildtransparency into the map drawing process."- Katy Shanahan, All on the Line OhioThe Path to Fair Maps Starts in 2020"2020 is a conflict filled time on multiplefronts. As people have been forced into theirhomes or transformed into essential workers,the very concept of our “environment” hasshifted. What does it mean to protect yourenvironment when we don’t have equal accessto the polls during a pandemic? What doesit mean to protect your environment whenpeople experience police brutality in theircommunities?"- Jocelyn Rosnick, ACLU of OhioThe 2020 Fight for Democracy:Looking Back & Moving ForwardInterested in watching the informative and thought-provoking 2020 Ohio Public Interest Environmental Law Conference sessions?Visit: theoec.org/opielc/speakers/6Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 610/29/20 7:28 AM
DEFINING YOUR “AND”KARLTON LASTEROEC Cleveland Metro DirectorThis past summer, I had the opportunity to speak with agroup of high school students about the work of the OECat the statewide and local levels. When asked about myacademic and professional background, I defined my “and”— I spoke of my environmental work being intersectionaland how I viewed my work through an environmentallens, as well as a lens of racial justice and communityengagement.Throughout this year, I’ve seen an important “and” inaction at the OEC: the intersection of our work to protectour environment and our democracy. It is clear that inorder to ensure a healthy environment for all, we must alsoguarantee a healthy and equitable democracy.Over the past year, the OEC has collaborated with anumber of organizations to engage communities acrossOhio in democracy work: completing their census forms,participating in both the primary and general elections, andencouraging others to do the same. As OEC’s ClevelandMetro Director, I have had the opportunity to collaboratewith a strong cohort of democracy advocates on thiswork including Cleveland VOTES, All Voting is Local,League of Women Voters-Cleveland, NAACP-ClevelandBranch, and other community organizations.The ongoing pandemic has challenged each of ourorganizations to think creatively about engaging ourcommunities around democracy work at this critical time.It is my hope and expectation that we will continue tocollaborate in meaningful and innovative ways followingthe 2020 Census and 2020 election cycles to advocatefor increased focus and investment in environmental andenvironmental justice policies at the federal, state, andlocal levels.To see Karlton’s “and” in action, check out his OECCleveland Kitchen Table Talk series, a monthlyconversation on environmental and environmentaljustice topics that are meant to educate, engage, andexpand community engagement. From democracy togardening and land use to water affordability, each ofthese events prompted intersectional conversations.To view the OEC Cleveland Kitchen Table Talk series, talks/7Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 710/29/20 7:28 AM
PUBLIC LANDSSEEKING BACKCOUNTRY DESIGNATION TO SUPPORT AHEALTHY ENVIRONMENT AND STRONG ECONOMYCAROL DAVEYOEC Southeast Ohio Regional DirectorIn Southeast Ohio, our natural resources are our mostcrucial assets.For generations, companies have descended upon ourcommunities to take advantage of these resources.Afterward, they packed up. They left behind pollutionand left our towns without their primary economicdriver. Now, we have an opportunity to create a new,just, locally-driven economy. And at the same time, wecan protect one of region’s most crucial assets—theWayne National Forest—for generations to come.As the OEC’s Southeast Ohio Regional Director, I amworking with my colleagues to build new economicopportunities for my region while preserving SoutheastOhio’s defining natural wonder through a newcampaign to secure a Backcountry Area designation forthe Wayne.Achieving a Backcountry designation here wouldprotect some 30,000 acres of public forest fromlogging, fracking, mining, and road construction. Thearea could be a destination for activities like hiking,backpacking, horseback riding, and camping.The benefits of a named Backcountry Area are notjust for the forest. Declaring a Backcountry Areawill help make the Wayne a nationally recognizedtourism destination where visitors will support smallbusinesses and help revitalize local economies.Studies have shown this could have a major impacton the communities near the Wayne: rural countieswith protected federal lands have above average ratesof job growth, higher incomes per capita, and higherproperty values. Former coal towns, like Shawneeand Glouster, could see an influx of people seeking abackcountry vacation.These major benefits for the Wayne and nearby townsare hard to ignore. To date, more than 35 cities,counties, businesses, and nonprofit organizationshave signed on to a petition calling for the creation ofthe Backcountry Area. We are proud to partner withorganizations like Rural Action, the Buckeye TrailAssociation, and Winding Road on this campaign. Ifapproved, the Backcountry Area would be designatedin the next forest plan revision that could govern theWayne for the next 20 to 30 years.This project reflects the value of deep communityorganizing combined with state and federal advocacy.Protecting the Wayne requires listening to the needsof our communities. It requires strong, trustingrelationships. And it requires a bold vision for a futurethat strengthens communities across Southeast Ohio.By supporting the OEC, you are helping make thatvision a reality. We can create a future that no longerrelegates dangerous jobs from destructive industriesto my friends and neighbors and instead supports ahealthy, safe environment. Supporters like you arestanding by my side as we work to create a new futurefor the Wayne and for Southeast Ohio.8Fall 2020 GreenWatch.indd 810/29/20 7:28 AM
INTERNSHIPS AT THE OECBUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OFENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSAMBER SWIGART2020 OEC Outreach InternThe Ohio Environmental Council was fortunate to virtuallyhost eight outstanding interns over the summer. For them,centering the environment lies at the heart of their advocacyand their futures.Despite majoring in a range of different fields,from English to theater and environmental studiesto firefighting, this year’s Ohio EnvironmentalCouncil Summer Intern Cohort demonstrated a deepunderstanding of how protecting our air, land, and waterimpacts every area of our lives.We wholeheartedly agree that centering communityvoices, countering polluting corporate interests, andcombating climate change takes a wide range ofperspectives and skill sets. Since the consequences ofclimate change are imminent, joining the environmentalmovement is urgently necessary, no matter ourbackground, field of study, or career path.As Energy Intern Prince Kwarteng-Crooklynn put it, “Theenvironment is at the center of everything we do.”Many of the interns shared a passion for local advocacyand cite the OEC’s coalition-building approach—workingwith local leaders to find solutions, partnering with onthe-ground activists — and the OEC’s work to strengthenour democracy as reasons they became involved inthe organization’s work. For example, Justice, Equity,are proud of our 2020 intern"Wecohort and grateful for all theirhard work. Despite the challengesof the pandemic, racial injusticeand civil unrest, and socialdistancing requirements, thesetalented young people stayedcalm, centered, and focusedon the work at hand for Ohio’senvironment.
