Faith Meckley was born and raised in Geneva, NY on the north end of Seneca Lake, the largest of the 11 Finger Lakes. Her childhood was spent outside and her connection with nature at a young age has had an enormous impact. Now that she understands that her home region is in danger, not to mention the entire planet, she finds it impossible not to take action. Over the summer and fall of 2014 she walked across the country to demand action on climate change, including a march through the YSU campus. She has been arrested twice for protesting, and may be facing jail time in March for one of her actions. She is currently balancing being a full-time student at Ithaca College and an organizer for We Are Seneca Lake.

The massive expansion plans for gas storage under Seneca Lake is the subject of "Seneca in the Balance," an upcoming public forum on Tuesday, March 11 at Watkins Glen High School Auditorium which will address the future of NY's Finger Lakes region: Will it be clean water and fine wine, or industrial gas storage?

Trumbull County Meeting: Residents Seek Control of Injection Wells and Toxic Fracking Waste

Thursday 6pm Meeting on fracking waste injection wells, Feb 5: Due to growing concern over injection wells in Trumbull County, the commissioners and County Engineer Randy Smith will hold a second public meeting to discuss Trumbull County becoming a dumping ground for fracking waste water, updates on oil and gas exploration and injection wells locally, how permits are issued and regulated, and how objections can be made to ODNR and future legislation on injection wells. Presenting and taking questions will be Attorney Thomas G. Carey of Harrington, Hoppe and Mitchell who specializes in oil and gas industry matters. Well operators and industry public relations will also answer questions.
ODNR says Trumbull County leads the state in accepting waste to be injected into wells. They took in 2.3 million barrels in 2013.
In the first three months of 2014, wells in Ohio accepted 16 million barrels of waste into the ground statewide, with half of it coming from Pennsylvania.

6:00 p.m., Trumbull County Administration Building Commissioners’ Hearing Room, 5th Floor ,160 High Street, N.W. Warren, OH 44481
