    Buckeyes from across Ohio State's Columbus campus were invited to join the Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) Landscape Services team during a campus clean-up event in May. Volunteers met at Meiling Hall and were encouraged to walk, jog or run while picking up litter, otherwise known as "plogging." The event provided an opportunity for participants to share your #BuckeyeLove for the environment as part of environmental wellness, while enjoying the benefits of physical activity and spending time outdoors.
