It’s All in The Name

Raising your EcoTeam’s profile

EcoHeroes, Earth Eagles, EcoPatrol, GreenDreams: these are all fun, catchy names that will capture your mission and distinguish your EcoTeam.

Tips:

• Many EcoTeams divide up tasks in their group. One idea is to have fun names associated with each task – for example, Green Bin Gators, Recycle Rangers, EcoMonitors.
• Make buttons, reuse old T-shirts, and create costumes that highlight your EcoTeam name. This is a great way to be visible in your school.
• Make sure your EcoTeam name is on all communications to create your own unique “brand.”
• Write an EcoSchools Mission for your school. This can help solidify your long-term vision, give direction to your actions, and communicate your overall goal to your entire school. Post it somewhere prominent or announce it in your school newsletter to get the word out.
