Housing Eco-Reps

In an effort to increase environmental awareness and participation among students, more colleges and universities are developing peer-to-peer outreach programs, often called “Eco-Reps.” These programs frequently focus on engaging students living on campus. Eco-Reps programs are organized often through a collaboration of several campus departments, such as Residence Life, Dining Services, Campus Recycling and Sustainability.

Eco-Reps programs offer students a chance to focus their interest in environmental stewardship directly in their campus community. Many programs provide training for Eco-Rep volunteers or employees on topics such as recycling, energy conservation, waste reduction and climate change. Eco-Reps are then empowered to develop and implement educational activities and programs among their fellow students.
