The 2007/2008 EcoReps worked tirelessly to bring recycling into the student life spotlight. Each EcoRep, responsible for a particular residential area, brought programming and information directly to their peers through:

• Recycling Trivia  Game Night:  Over Chai and cookies, students outwitted each other in a test of trash and recycling. EcoReps developed trivia, and were creative in testing their fellows. Some made up mock trash bags which students had to empty and say recycling or not for each item.
• Recyclemania! This campus-wide competition pit house against house and dorm against dorm to see who could recycle the most during a ten week period. EcoReps collected data, advertised the results, conducted outreach with their fellows and got the competition flowing.
• Trashion Show: Where trash meets fashion. EcoReps advertised, organized and participated in this event!
