Campus Race to Zero Waste has officially kicked off! For the next eight weeks, Ohio State will be competing against universities across the nation to see who can achieve the highest landfill diversion rate! This is our chance to show our commitment to sustainability, and we need your help!
How You Can Make a Difference
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has been recognized as a 2024 Tree Campus by the Arbor Day Foundation for dedication to tree education, investment, and community engagement. This honor highlights efforts to integrate trees and green spaces into campus areas, creating healing environments and building a foundation for healthier, more resilient communities.
Mary Leciejewski, Associate Director of Sustainability & Strategic Services for Facilities Operations and Development, shared her journey into the world of zero waste with the Green Champions podcast. Mary discusses her path to Ohio State and background in sustainability and service.
Safety is the university’s top priority, and Facilities Operations and Development (FOD), CampusParc, Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM), and the Department of Public Safety work together to offer services during the winter months to keep you safe. As snow and ice start to collect, FOD teams are dispatched to treat campus roadways and sidewalks.
America Recycles Day (November 15) is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States. It is an opportunity to promote environmental citizenship and take action to increase and improve recycling in America.
