EcoReps— Creating a sustainable 6VµçÓ°Íø.
6VµçÓ°Íø EcoReps serve the 6VµçÓ°Íø community as student liaisons between the administration and student body. They aim to promote sustainable practices on campus by connecting students to information, resources, funding and the 6VµçÓ°Íø administration. EcoReps believe that everyone has something unique to contribute to the conversation and that sustainability requires a community-based culture of awareness, care, and engagement.
The EcoReps promote energy- and water-saving, low-waste living, sustainable eating, and alternative transportation in tangible ways, such as organizing panels on current events, pursuing long=lasting sustainability initiatives on campus, facilitating student access to Sustainability Office resources, and more.
