Green Games creates more sustainable athletic games


Ohio University Athletics has welcomed a new and creative way to create a more sustainable campus through Green Games.

Campus Recycling & Zero Waste, the Office of Sustainability, the Appalachia Ohio Zero Waste Initiative and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service have partnered with OU Athletics to increase sustainability during athletic games with the Green Games initiative. 

Office of Sustainability advocating for outdoor classrooms


Ohio University’s Office of Sustainability is hoping to implement several outdoor learning spaces over the next year. 

Kyle Butler, an associate professor in the Ohio Program of Intensive English, is also the sustainable living hub coordinator within the Office of Sustainability. He said he wants the project to help students in higher education develop a connection with nature. 

The Office of Sustainability is still in the early stages of developing the project, and the university is unsure how much of the budget the project will receive.
