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?
