Ecoopportunity

About Eco-Op

Harvard School of Public Health is at the forefront of research addressing the most pressing global health and environmental issues facing us today, and as a member of this campus community, it is important that we lead by example in the way we operate the campus and run our day-to-day activities.

A truly sustainable campus requires the cooperation and inclusion of everyone on campus, and in this spirit we have formed  eco-opportunity, a sustainability team at HSPH, to help guide and expand energy conservation, waste reduction, and health related efforts on campus.  

Our Mission:

To put simply, institutionalize campus sustainability on the School of Public Health campus. This group will:

  • Serve as the primary point of communication for sustainability efforts on campus.
  • Work with the Facilities and Operations Group to establish best practices, policies, and/or standards for sustainable design and operations on campus, where appropriate.
  • Identify and prioritize resource conservation opportunities in offices, labs, and residential buildings
  • Inspire the HSPH Community to reduce environmental and health impacts, and help HSPH become a leader in campus sustainability efforts.

Our Team:  

This collaborative effort, coordinated by the HSPH Operations Department and Harvard's Office for Sustainability, is designed to engage and include the HSPH community in sustainability efforts on campus and currently includes representation from many of the Academic and Administrative Departments.  This group meets every month to discuss sustainability initiatives and ideas to enhance our environmental-friendliness.
