A brief description of the campaign(s):
The GW Eco-Challenge has been conducted for six years. Currently the focus is an electricity and water conservation challenge between residence halls. The contest serves as an educational resource for students through peer-to-peer engagement. GW Eco-Reps are the driving force behind Eco-Challenge, hosting small and large events in their residence halls and across campus designed to educate their peers about water and electricity reduction. Previous Eco-Challenge events have included: informational pizza parties, tabling, vampire devise demonstrations, and lights out events.
GW's Eco-Challenge benefit helps lower the carbon and water footprint of the university and the lessons learned through the program help to instill an ethic of conservation in students.
