Ohio EPA recognizes that many businesses, communities, and other organizations are moving beyond compliance and incorporating sustainable environmental practices into their daily operations. To help you become more sustainable, on April 17, 2019, Ohio EPA will host its second Sustainability Conference. This conference will show attendees how to leverage sustainable practices and resources to strengthen Ohio communities and businesses.

A large part of the conference is targeted to businesses and communities that are moving beyond basic environmental requirements into cost-effective sustainable strategies to improve environmental performance and save valuable resources. The agenda focuses on ways to become a part of the circular economy, how sustainability can improve communities, how our water resources can benefit from sustainable approaches, and the resources and incentives that can help your sustainability efforts. During the event, you will hear from business and community leaders eager to share their insight as to how they've gone above and beyond to implement sustainable practices.

The general agenda for the day-long conference covers a variety of sustainability-related topics including:

• How to Start a Sustainable Business in Your Community
• Green Roofs
• Composting and Organics Diversion
• Integrating Sustainable Practices within your Community
• Innovative Approaches to Protecting or Restoring a Community’s Water Bodies
