Eco-Reps are undergraduate student employees who help their peers make more sustainable choices while on campus and build an environmental justice ethic that lasts a lifetime. 

Eco-Reps work on outreach and education in the key areas of waste, food and transportation. In the program students build leadership skills and an understanding of campus operations, making Eco-Reps great innovators and problem solvers! Eco-Reps often help implement pilot initiatives to advance or increase sustainability access.

History

The UVM Eco-Reps program is one of the oldest and most well-respected programs of its kind in the country. It began as a pilot project in the spring of 2004 through the UVM Recycling Office (part of the Physical Plant Department at the time) and is now a partnership between Residential Life and the Office of Sustainability.
