Conscious Water Usage

At LAU, promoting conscious water usage on campus and in the wider community is done through:

• Awareness campaigns addressing LAU community members and wider communities including tips for water saving (whether on campus, at dorms or at home).
• “Take the green pledge” is an initiative where students, faculty, staff and community take the pledge by committing to water conservation behavior

Green Awareness

We are continuously sensitizing the LAU community about the importance of energy and water resources and their conservation and actively engaging them in this endeavor.

We have launched an awareness campaign with tips for saving water on campus, in dorms, or at home. Posters were placed in restrooms and on bulletin boards throughout LAU, coupled with a short video on campus TV screens, the LAU website, and social media channels.

Take The Green Pledge

The Green Pledge is an agreement to make small, simple choices in your daily life to help make our campus more sustainable. These small changes will add up to a big impact if we all do it together.

Join other students, faculty, and staff who have already committed to sustainable behavior.

Your name will be featured among LAU’s committed green community.
