A brief description of the campaign(s):
Each spring, residence halls across campus compete to reduce water and energy consumption. Additional programming within the halls is coordinated by Eco-Reps and additional points for the waste category are awarded through using reusable to-go containers in the dining halls, attending campus cleanup events, and visiting the sustainability hut on campus.
