Sustainability in action

When you think Ohio State, do you think sustainability?

You should.

The university meets more than 20 percent of its Columbus campus electricity needs with wind power. Utilizing the Zero Waste program at Ohio Stadium, Buckeyes diverted 95.2 percent of football game-day materials from the landfill during the 2014 season. There is an incredible array of groundbreaking environment-related research: studying wetlands on campus, examining ice cores from around the globe and creating the world’s first solar battery.

And the list doesn’t end there. From student organizations devoted to environmental stewardship to a university-wide effort to examine Ohio State’s energy needs, the institution is doing what it can to advance sustainability in all aspects of its operations as well as through education, research and outreach.
