The Ecohouse and the Jazz House are the only two permanent theme houses on the Knox Campus. People who apply to live at the Ecohouse agree to abide by certain ecologically conscious rules: they compost their food waste using worms and tumblers, recycle and reuse everything they can, make their own green cleaning supplies, run a house garden and a community garden which they water with rain collected from the roof in barrels, and generally do their best to reduce their ecological footprint.
Ecohouse residents try to share as much as they can to save energy and promote community. They share and rotate house chores, carpool when they can't ride their bikes, and the four off-board residents buy, cook, and eat food communally.
Most members of the Ecohouse are vegetarians or vegans. They are all members of either KARES or Food for Thought.

The Ecohouse is all-women right now, but it's a coed house. Nobody seems to want to be the first/only guy to live there, but men are encouraged to apply.
