Residence Challenge and Recyclemania are just around the corner! The first is a school-wide competition that encourages students to save energy, while the latter is a nation-wide competition in which the goal is the recycle the most and have the least amount of waste. Eco Reps is a student-lead organization who is committed to making on-campus life more eco-friendly. We offer several different dorm programs that can help your residents become more environmentally aware. Here is a list of some of those programs:
Edible compost – This program will educate your residents on composting and includes a delicious snack that symbolizes the process of decomposition.
Recycled Notebooks – This is a craft oriented program; it emphasizes the reusing and recycling of cardboard and paper. Residents are encouraged to bring their favorite cereal or other cardboard boxes for the notebooks.
Bottle Cap Magnets – Another craft, this reuses bottle caps and magazine clippings to make a decorative refrigerator magnet. Again, students are encouraged to bring their favorite magazines.
T-shirt tote bags - This is a new program. It entails the cutting and stapling of old T-shirts to create a unique tote bag. Residents are asked to bring an old T-shirt (the larger the better).
These are the most popular, but we are open to ideas you may have of other ways to educate your residents about reducing, reusing, and recycling. We can conduct these programs or we can provide you with the materials to do it yourself. If you have any questions or are interested in our programs, please contact Liz at ee244409@ohio.edu.
Thanks,
Liz Emley
