Abstract
The first eco-reps program was started at Tufts University in Boston in 2000. Since then, nearly 30 additional programs have followed, with additions each year. This paper is the first comprehensive review on how these programs are developed, implemented, and evaluated. We include an overview of the rationale behind eco-reps programs and a discussion of current trends, best practices, and challenges gleaned from a survey of program coordinators. Using as case studies the University of Vermont's established Eco-Reps Program and a program under development at the University of New Hampshire, we outline two examples of peer-to-peer sustainability outreach programs in action.
