Who are We? We are a non-governmental association independent of any political or religious groups. We embrace the principles of environment friendly, love of nature, protectors of what is left from our heritage, admirers of our country and its beautiful scenary. LebEnvironment brings together all those who are concerned with: Preserving the past, conserving the present, and giving the future a better chance. LebEnvironment was founded in 1988, when a group of college student from AUB, LAU and Haigazian universities decided to translate their concern about the post-war devastated cultural, human and natural environment into an organized action with the following objectives: * Expose environmental threats * Popularize environmental awareness * Contribute towards a scientific framework for a sustainable environmental management policy. Mission of LebEnvironment To promote environmental awareness and document environmental threats in order to better confront them, thus introducing change at the community level within the concept of sustainable development. Moreover we intend to focus on the another important aspect and highlight on the importance of sustainable energy resources. We have introduced a news blog for updates and latest news pertaining to our environment, we will be covering most of the events happening and exposing what is behind the scene. Where and how we seek funds Well basically it's still on an individual bases, we haven't asked for any contribution to our efforts but we hope to attract environmental advocates who will share with us this message and role in protecting our environment. Hopefully in the coming months we will start a membership fee, donation campaign for our planting campaigns, and sell online environmental products like pins, tree's, cards.
