Green Cup Eco-Projects
Form a team to lead your House to victory!
Definition: eco-projects are projects done by individuals or teams from a House (or the Yard), which make a difference by:
- Reducing upstream and/or downstream environmental impacts of dorm life;
- Educating the student body (in particular, the residents of the
House or Dorm in which the project is performed) to think and act in a way that reduces environmental impacts;
OR - Generating resources for other environmentally related projects.
All House projects will be judged as a whole toward the Green Cup award, and projects submitted by current students will be eligible for the prizes below.
