Join the Green Network!
![[Green Network Logo]](images/GNLogo.jpg) The Green Network is a coalition of Ohio University students, faculty and staff who are dedicated to advancing campus sustainability initiatives. Our mission is to find ways that we as a campus community can foster environmental stewardship and resource conservation.
We encourage our peers to be aware of the impact of their actions and to make small changes, such as:
- Turning off lights when the room is empty
- Printing on both sides of a sheet of paper, and recycling paper that cannot be reused
- Enabling 'sleep' mode on office computers
- Turning off computers that are not in use
- Advocating the purchase of energy-efficient office equipment
These are small changes at the individual level. Taken together, the effect is enormous. Not only are we lowering Ohio University's utility and waste bills - thereby freeing up funds for other priorities - but we are also reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that provide Ohio University with electricity.
Would you like to help us build a stronger network?
Do you have an idea for promoting recycling and environmental stewardship on campus?
Are you looking for ways to reach out to others to spread the message about conserving resources?
Then join us in our efforts to promote a green campus!
