Can a stadium that seats over 100,000 people realistically shoot for a zero waste policy?
Welcome to Ohio Stadium, the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes football team, located on the campus of The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. With a capacity of 102,329, it is the fourth largest football stadium in the United States.
Imagine compost bins at a stadium! Volunteers help people throw items in the right place, and food vendors are switching to compostable packaging.
They figure only 10% of waste is really garbage headed for the landfill, and the other 90% they are committed to composting and recycling. They are off to a great start to meet these ambitious waste reducing goals.
