HeadlineFeb 20, 2013

Environmental activists shut down a wastewater site in Ohio on Tuesday in a protest against hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. One demonstrator climbed a 30-foot pole at the GreenHunter Water storage facility, stopping trucks from dumping fracking wastewater. The site’s operators want to increase its capacity for dumping and transporting fracking waste. Ten people were arrested in Tuesday’s demonstration.
