Spring 2026 OLLI Digital Catalog – under construction 

ECO TEAM (P228)

P – Life Sciences

The mission of the OLLI Eco Team is to support green behavior in our homes, communities and the world through our actions and education. We are a results-oriented group that discusses our agenda for the year and forms small program teams to plan goals, tasks and timelines to achieve deliverables. Guest speakers present topics relevant to our sphere of influence. We take guidance from UD’s sustainability plans including Doug Tallamy’s Homegrown National Park, as well as zero waste principles.

This offering meets for a total of 13 session(s).
