Littering Fine Campaign
You've noticed these, right?
It's by SENS (Saudi Environmental Society) and some other sponsors spreading awareness about this new law that makes you pay if you throw garbage anywhere other than the garbage. Do you think it's working?

Welcome Back Faculty, Employees, and Students
Salams All,
Effat's environmental organization, Faseelah(فَسِيلَةُ) is recruiting new members from the Effat community (including faculty and employees).
Learn more about our Islamically driven aspirations, and apply by clicking here if you're a student. If you're not a student and don't have the effat.edu.sa email, click here.
Goals and How You Can Help
Affiliates
Anyone who has taken part in an environmental group knows how hard it is to find other groups. One goal of ours is to keep connecting them to make a real difference in Jeddah. We have officially made deals with some to stay in touch and use each other's resources.
We need members to keep track of them.
Making Effat Eco-friendly
"Green" universities are becoming mandatory! The educated community is realizing more and more how important it is to conserve Earth, including Harvard and Yale, among so many others. It's even becoming something people look for while applying to universities.
And it's so easy to make Effat more eco-friendly than it is! Here are some objectives we're aiming for (it's a lot harder than it sounds). We want to get:

And it's so easy to make Effat more eco-friendly than it is! Here are some objectives we're aiming for (it's a lot harder than it sounds). We want to get:
- Awareness movies to be played regularly
- Effat to use paper cups at the coolers instead of plastic
- A recycling system implemented permanently
- The Effat community to stop littering
- The lights and projectors off when they're not used
- Computers and lights to be turned off automatically at the end of the day (they sometimes stay on overnight for no reason)
- The restaurant to pack up food in a more eco-friendly way (no plastic!)
- Energy efficient lighting all around campus
Spreading Awareness
It's so important and easy to respect what Allah has given us, but most of us just don't know. We want to spread the word on:
- How destructive littering is
- The importance of using reusable and reused products, like bottles and bags
- How the majors available can help the planet when our students graduate
- What environmental organizations there already are
- What people are already doing in Jeddah
- What the world is doing to become sustainable
- The perks of vegetarianism
- How the Saudi government is encouraging renewable power, water conservation, and sustainability
Celebrating International Events
This year we hope to bring awareness to international efforts concerning the environment.
