Campus, community Earth Day celebrations at OHIO

On Wednesday April 22, Ohio University will join a global network of sustainability leaders with an Earth Day celebration of campus and community sustainability efforts.

The International Earth Day Network collaborates with partners in over 192 countries to support environmental protection and peace. Ohio University will host its Earth Day celebration on Wednesday, April 22, from noon until 2 p.m. in the Grover Center Atrium.

Hosted by the Office of Sustainability, the Earth Day celebration is free and open to the public. 

This event will highlight the efforts made toward environmental sustainability in Athens. Local and Ohio University organizations will offer education on environmental efforts and involvement. The event will also celebrate the announcement of the 2026 Sustainability Award recipients and the observance of Arbor Day. In addition there will be a free thrift store organized by the Office of Campus Recycling and Zero Waste.

All members of the OHIO community are invited to attend and support the efforts of local citizens, faculty, staff and students making great strides toward sustainability.
