Eco-Reps

Eco-Reps are students who bring their own ideas for advancing sustainability on campus. The Eco-Reps program gives students the opportunity to propose a project that supports a culture of sustainability at GW. If selected, Sustainable GW will help provide funding, resources, and staffing to bring the project to life.

How does it work?

1. Submit your idea: Email us at sustaingwgwu [dot] edu with your name and a brief explanation of your project.

2. Meet with us: We’ll schedule a discussion meeting to learn more about your idea and how it connects to campus sustainability.

3. Proposal: You’ll have the opportunity to submit a full project proposal for review.

4. Support: If your project is selected, Sustainable GW will work with you to help fund, staff, and implement your idea.

What kinds of projects can Eco-Reps propose?
Projects can be creative, practical, or awareness-based. What matters most is that they advance sustainability on campus. Examples might include:

• Initiatives to promote behavioral change on campus

• Educational events on sustainability topics ( food, fashion, waste reduction etc.)

• Innovative projects to engage students in campus sustainability initiatives
