Community Sustainable Activities

Student Environmental club

SUMMARY

Students will have a special platform to discuss the environmental and sustainability­ related issues. The focus is on activities and awareness sessions that come up with solutions whether on the university campuses or elsewhere but mostly club members will have the opportunity to learn and put democratic citizenship techniques to be implemented such as going out and executing Environmental activities, for example, cleaning the streets or the beachs. It will also give a chance to the motivated students to discuss ideas and create plans to be implemented on a variety of issues, including politics, science, education, environmental ethics, and anything else related to environmentalism and the advancement of a fair and sustainable society. As they campaign both individually and collectively for laws and practices that are environmentally sustainable and morally sound, for example, organizing a campaign for one week called 11no plastic bags II in which we put a friendly law that no one could have plastic bags on the campus during the campaign time.

PROJECT Goal

One of the main goals of the Environmental CIUlb is to train E-JUST students on the practices of sustainable living, with the ultimate goal of creating the culture of sustainability on the E-JUST campuses that will serve as a model for other universities and our local community.
