- Swaptree is a new website that allows students to trade books. ESO will get $1 for every user that signs up, and completes a trade. So, sign up here!
- We now have the recycling bin outside by Marsh Plaza, please put your glass and plastic bottles in it to prove that we care about recycling on campus.
- We are continuously in the process of getting BU to go green. Our opt-out green optional temporary refund adjustment is meant to provide a fund for green projects at Boston University. The $10 opt-out fee will either pay for the purchase of renewable energy on campus, or create a fund for loans that will go to energy efficiency projects, eventually saving BU money! It has been passed by the Student Union and we are now taking it to the administration.
- Soon, we may be hosting a tie-dye party/fundraiser!
-We have our T-Shirts for sale again! They're $15, we are taking orders. The T-shirt Design is pictured below. It comes in organic cotton and is super comfortable.
