Eco-Reps
A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
The Eco-Rep leadership program is a volunteer program for students on-campus, which have an interest in practicing and promoting sustainable living. Promoted behaviors include recycling, energy and water conservation, and environmental issues. An Eco-Rep’s main purpose is to educate fellow students about the importance of living in a sustainable manner. Eco-reps are asked to further their awareness surrounding sustainability, and actively participate in leading other students to join them in this pursuit. The Eco-reps share ecological information and opinions with their peers and promote practice of behaviors which help create a more sustainable world. Eco-reps perform a variety of tasks, such as coordinating and hosting informative hall programs, designing and installing educational bulletin boards, or organizing competitions between residences on each floor to reduce waste. Eco-reps are expected to help with Floor/Hall presentations, Campus Race to Zero Waste, and various promotional events to raise awareness such as Bike Tune Up Days and the UB ReUse Move Out program. Eco-reps are asked to educate peers on a variety of topics throughout the semester which are discussed at organizational meetings.
