Kate shows off the Ecohouse [video] Sustainable living, Ohio University-style Apr 18, 2008
Take a peek inside Ohio University's Ecohouse, a model for sustainable living that serves as a student residence and a learning center.
Established in 2005, its mission is to demonstrate affordable, green technology and sustainable living by providing education and outreach for Ohio University, the local community and the Appalachian region.
The Ecohouse's three residents host potluck suppers, open houses and workshops for community members to share information about the technology incorporated into the systems of the house and model a lifestyle that can help the planet.
This spring, Kate Hammond, an Ecohouse resident and Ohio University graduate student in environmental studies, gave the Outlook team a tour of the home.
