UGA students spread sustainability through EcoReps
With more than 6,200 first-year students enrolled in 2025, the University of Georgia’s growing freshman class presents both excitement and sustainability challenges. The Eco-reps program is using that growth as an opportunity to educate students on environmentally friendly habits.
Sadie Eubanks, a second-year EcoRep, joined the program her freshman year and has made an effort to encourage her peers to learn these habits now.
“I think that if people can learn about sustainability while they’re here and then take what they’ve learned with them, we can get a much farther reach,” Eubanks said.
The EcoReps have a full calendar of programming, from tabling to student events. Arwen Coy, University Housing Sustainability coordinator, is the organizer of it all.
