The Eco-Opportunity team works hard to brainstorm new ideas or campaigns that can help HSPH towards being one step greener. Using the momentum of our team as a vehicle to pursue new campaigns, combined with the efforts of the HSPH community, we've been very successful in a number of campaigns around campus since the inception of our team. Information about our more robust programs such as recycling and composting can be found in more detail at the links on the left. For a short list of some of our team successes, please see the list below.
