> Where are all the environmental activists?

I'm not an environmental activist myself, but the first group that came to my mind, Greenpeace, is already talking about it: https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/ohio-train-wreck-could-be-bid...

> no one is reporting on it detail (sic)

Besides the article you're commenting on?

The main environmental groups do seem to be all consumed with climate change issues. You do not any other kind of reporting in the press. And environmental activist have always driven change through the media, so it is a good metric to see where their focus is. Without raising consciousness about issues, little gets done. They don't even talk about recycling anymore.

The Guardian is a British newspaper.

Please ask around acquaintances who live in Ohio, friends of friends, how well informed they were/are about these events and at what point they got looped in. You can find that out first hand, I believe in you.

I don't have acquaintance in Ohio, so it seems your belief was misplaced. I'm sorry to have disappointed you.
