Build a strong EcoTeam

Defining roles and representation in your EcoTeam can help students understand their responsibilities as well as spread the word about your actions quickly and effectively.

Tips:

  • Eco Reps can be assigned to specific tasks in the classroom as well as attend EcoTeam meetings, communicate eco-actions, and monitor for areas of improvement and success.
  • Eco Reps can be from each classroom or divided into subcommittees.
  • Elect a minister of the environment as part of your school’s student council.
  • If you have a small EcoTeam, consider focusing on one section at a time throughout the year (e.g. waste minimization in the fall, energy conservation in the winter).
