What is a dorm vs dorm sustainability competition?At Duke University, the "Eco-Olympics" is a dorm vs. dorm sustainability competition that includes a suite of events promoting recycling, energy and water conservation, environmental education and other sustainable practices. Many schools run similar competitions under names such as the "Green Cup" and "Do it in the Dark." Dorm vs dorm, campus vs campus and school vs school sustainability competitions have proven to be an extremely effective way to engage residents and building occupants in learning about and practicing sustainable behaviors.
