Congratulations Littlefield!
Great Job Littlefield on winner Brown Unplugged: Do It In The Dark, for the 2nd year in a row!!
But there was success across the entire campus, check out our amazing results!!!!
893 participants helped Brown Unplugged keep 11 metric tons of carbon out of the
atmosphere! That is enough Carbon Cubes to fill ALL of Lincoln Field! Thank you so much for your dedication, EcoReps can’t wait for next year!
The Carbon Cube Travels Across Brown!

Game Day Wins with Recycling
Brown Univ. President Ruth Simmons with EcoReps President Gretchen!
The results are in! The Parents Weekend Football game on October 15th saw 5,265 attendees. Thanks to our EcoReps and the Brown community we collected 260 pounds of recyclables to be diverted from landfills! Our numbers will be submitted to the EPA Game Day Challenge…but either way everyone who participated in Game Day sustainability is a winner in our eyes!! We’ll see you back next year for another recycling extravaganza. Until then, check out our “Facts and Tips’ section to see how you can go green.

Game-Day Challenge Round 1!
The University football team brought home a big win on Saturday night at Brown Stadium, and so did our EcoReps! While the Bears were busy collecting fumbles the EcoRep volunteers were busy collecting fans’ recycling to raise awareness about reducing waste at sporting events and keep Brown’s campus beautiful! We collected 20 EXTRA LARGE BAGS of cans, plastic, and glass bottles on Saturday and are looking to do it again for our EPA Game Day Competition on October 15th.
The EPA Game Day Competition is open to all colleges and universities in the U.S. Last year over 88 schools participated and collected over 500,000 pounds of recycling to promote waste reduction, increase participation in recycling and composting, and spread awareness to fans and friends!
We invite you to compete with us this year! Join us at BROWN STADIUM, OCTOBER 15th, 12:30pm!
