GREEN  LINE

Green Line is a non-governmental, pro-active association independent of any political group or affiliation. It embraces the principles of environmentally sound development and awareness.

Green-Line brings together all those who are concerned with preserving the past, conserving the present and giving the future a better chance. It was founded in 1991, when a group of professionals from the American University of Beirut (AUB) and their friends decided to translate their concern for the devastated  postwar cultural, human and natural environment into organized action with the following objectives:

• Publicize environmental threats

• Popularize environmental awareness

• Contribute towards a scientific framework for an environmental management policy that is sustainable.
