The Value of Eco-Reps

As we near the end of the 2010-2011 academic year, it's nice to reflect on what we've accomplished as a team. Something I've been thinking about recently is: What are some of the benefits that Eco-Reps generate at UVM? These benefits could be to fellow students, UVM staff, UVM administration, Vermont citizens...

Think beyond just traditional monetary measures. The value of the service you all provide could be thought of in terms of students gaining new knowledge, the university lessening its environmental impact, or residential halls enjoying increased social capital (such as greater community involvement or interaction among peers living together on campus).
