Ecopledge is a student-led organization that works toward making Boston College a more sustainable campus. Ecopledge educates the BC Community about environmental issues by showing films, presenting lectures, and hosting annual celebratory events, like Harvest Fest and Earth Day. Through the leadership of Ecopledge members, Boston College has participated annually in RecycleMania, an national intercollegiate recycling competition, and the Better Off Contest, a two-month energy conservation contest among the residential halls. Ecopledge also runs campus-wide campaigns to promote water and energy conservation, and an increase in commingled plastic, paper, and food waste recycling. Ecopledge members often go beyond the campus, participating in local community clean-ups, national environmental conferences, and hiking and camping outings throughout New England. Ecopledge pledges to collaborate with faculty, staff, and fellow students in campaigning for a more sustainable Boston College campus. (read less)
