  • Gain experience collaborating and planning events: Get to know other Eco-Reps and fellow students by planning small activities like clothes swaps, waste-free events, and “Do it in the Dark” energy-conserving movie nights, as well as helping out with campus-wide events, such as Green Cup, Earth Week, and Move Out.
  • Develop your leadership skills: Eco-Reps hold leadership positions in Residence Hall executive boards, Residential College executive boards, Greek executive boards, as well as on the Eco-Reps executive board.
  • Expand your knowledge: Eco-Reps meet weekly to learn about sustainability at NU and serve as a resource for fellow students regarding waste and energy reduction, sustainable food and dining practices, and eco-friendly purchasing initiatives. Become an expert on sustainability at NU!
  • Get free stuff: We provide Eco-Reps with a spork, reusable water bottle, reusable bag, t-shirt, and more to help educate fellow students on the benefits of using these products.
