A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):

"The EcoNetwork program operates on a monthly basis, focused around a monthly theme. There will be a workshop on the theme which will arm employees with knowledge and skills related to the subject. We encourage communication and relationship building between EcoNetwork members, so that we can help create a more sustainable campus together.

The themes of the workshops include how to reduce resource consumption, how to recycle on campus, and how to live more sustainably. Once employees have attended the workshop, they are given materials to return back to their work units ans share what they have learned with their peers."
