A brief description of how the institution engages in public policy advocacy for sustainability, including the issues, bills, and ordinances for or against which the institution has advocated:
The Oberlin Project provides a framework for Oberlin College and the City of Oberlin to work collaboratively to adopt new ordinances and policies to increase the sustainability of our community. For example, our Grounds Department lobbied for changes to ordinances to permit natural landscaping. In recognition of the importance of sustainability, Professor David W. Orr, a leading faculty voice on these issues, was appointed Special Assistant to President on Sustainability and Environmental Affairs. He speaks and advocates internationally for sustainability policies.
