EcoRep Program

EcoReps Mission and Overview

The Bates College EcoReps are a team of students who work toward promoting environmentally responsible behavior on campus. EcoReps work in small groups to develop and implement different projects, including organizing the annual Trashion Show, working on a recycling campaign, and writing the monthly newsletter. Through peer-to-peer outreach and designing projects for the semester, EcoReps gain valuable work skills while also creating sustainable change on campus.
