Penn’s Staff & Faculty Eco-Reps Program is currently accepting applications for the 2013-2014 program year. Penn’s Eco-Rep program is the premier place for employees who want to reduce Penn’s environmental footprint and enhance the workplace by educating and engaging others in more sustainable actions.
Staff & Faculty Eco-Reps get the tools to spread awareness of important sustainability issues and conservation strategies throughout their respective offices and departments through sustainability tips, projects, events, and creative informational campaigns.
• Attend monthly lunchtime meetings (lunch provided).
• Coordinate a Green Team in your department to get support, spread the word, and be a change agent.
• Share your successes with other Eco-Reps and ask for advice on your challenges; use the expertise of the group at meetings and in the email listserv.
• Communicate with your department about sustainability at least once a month.
• Contribute to University-wide sustainability events, such as ReThink Your Footprint waste minimization campaign and the Power Down Challenge.
Apply by sending the completed application form (available on the Green Campus Partnership website) www.upenn.edu/sustainability, to Andrea Kreiner (akreiner@upenn.edu) by Friday, September 13. The first Staff & Faculty Eco-Reps meeting will be held on Thursday, September 26.
