YALE’S GROWING ‘GREEN’ INITIATIVES|SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT|APRIL 2008



Eli Exchange

The members of the Student Taskforce for Environmental Partnership (STEP) are encouraging their peers to embrace the “reuse” philosophy through the organization’s Eli Exchange program.

Each residential college has a bin where students can donate unwanted clothes or take something that that they like. Campus-wide clothes swapping events also promote the concept that “swapping is the new shopping.”
