In 2005, AIESEC International envisioned launching a project to bring theorganization to youth in the Middle East, later selecting Jordan as one ofthe most promising sites for expansion. By that time, AIESEC only exitedin a handful of countries in the Middle East & North Aftica Region.
In July of 2006, the entirely youth-run organization of AIESEC opened itsdoors in Jordan, recruiting 80 members from universities across thecountry. These universities were initially the University of Jordan, andYarmouk University. Right now, AIESEC is present in Amman at theUniversity of Jordan, Princess Sumaya University of Technology, GermanJordan University, and Petra University. AIESEC is present in Irbid inYarmouk University, and soon Jordan University for Science andTechnology.
In addition to hosting two large-scale national conferences per year,AIESEC in Jordan has established its own Supervisory Group, whichcontains prominent Jordanian business and community leaders. TheSupervisory Group is helping AIESEC in Jordan by connecting theorganization to the Jordanian environment, and by pointing it in the rightdirection that would better serve the youth in the country.

AIESEC Amman and Environmental Sustainability
Sustainability is about meeting the needs of todays generation without denying tomorrows
generation the ability to meet theirsin the economic, social and environmental spheres.
Environmental sustainability is part of global economic and social well-being. Unfortunately
exploitation of natural resources such as forests, land, water, and fisheries-often by the powerful
few-have caused alarming changes in our natural world in recent decades, often harming the most
vulnerable people in the world who depend on natural resources for their livelihood.

Forward
Since AIESEC Jordan was launched it has been working on raising awareness among its members
about emerging concepts in the business environment such as Corporate Responsibility, which was
the starting point that paved the path towards Environmental Sustainability.
The I Green Project started in August 2009. Over several debates and researches, we agreed that
AIESEC in Jordan should start considering environmental sustainability; take steps in spreading
awareness among university students and work on being a role model for young people in leading the
change.
Starting the project, wasnt the easiest, we were faced by many obstacles in converting our concepts
into actions; this is when Green Step workshop took place, for AIESEC members and AIESEC
international interns; we were able to define whats happening around the world and what are the
environmental issues in Jordan that will be the bottle neck for Jordan in the next few years.
From there, a vision was born. We were able to start our first step to drive youth to be global minded
citizens. From that moment I Green started growing in our hearts and in its achievements.
I was extremely proud to see how the ideas our members came up with turned into reality; reusing
over 8000 papers, planting 100 trees and building partnerships to drive Environmental Sustainability
in Universities in the beginning of the next student's year. Also, it has touched me immensely to see
my members emphasize the importance of environmental awareness to their friends and families.
SAVE: there is no planet B was a huge success for the project. We were able to show our partners
the enthusiasm, the energy, the ideas and the determination that I Green project has, and this was
a turning point for the project to drive success.
Throughout this report we are presenting the main flow of the past educational forum; SAVE: there is
no planet B; the sessions and their objectives, the main discussions that occurred at the event, the
delegates input and their feedback about the event.
At the end, I would like to thank our partners for their generous support, the delegates for attending,
and mostly, I Green project members for their hard work, dedication, and creativity.

Panel Discussion Moderated by: Professor Muna Al BannaPlease note that these are only small headlines from the panel discussion.
Mr. Odeh Jayyousi: Defining environment and
environmental sustainability: Environment is our natural
system and a big circle which we all live in.
Environmental sustainability: A way of life, how to
interact harmlessly with our surroundings.
Environmental sustainability: proceeding to link
environmental sustainability to our own reality and
culture, holding on to our own values.
Pollution starts from your mindset.
Sustainability principles: Respecting laws and nature.
Mr. Raouf Al Dabbas: Are we environmentally
sustainable in Jordan?
We are not, but there are a lot of factors that come in
play here and we should not exploit our resources.
What we can do to preserve our resources:
Act now, as we dont have the leisure of time.
We have to value our environment.
Role of youth in environmental sustainability:
Coming up with solutions and mechanisms to save
energy and water and to use our natural resources
(Changing mindsets.)
Initiatives :
o Forest cleaning during the summer.
o School year: using interactive tools to engage
students.
o Planting trees during the winter.
It is important to be consistent in your activities and initiatives.

We should set rules for people to be more accountable in terms of the environment.
Mr. Raof: Jordan is starting initiatives; Example:
Environmental police (Rangers), and certain regulations andrules.
We are paying substantial taxes to the government
why not use them to help in recycling and short
initiatives?
Such things need to start from the people being more aware.
Why not start from the governmental institutions to
implement the rules and regulations, example:
carpooling to jobs, reducing carbon dioxide emission,
using filters on car exhausts.
Mr. Naser Al Majali representing EDAMA said: Canwe afford being environmentally sustainable?
We actually cant afford not to. We should use the
natural resources we have: sun, wind, etc.
How can we manage organizing activities between
governmental people and NGOs?
We should bring our efforts together, spread
awareness, and make sure that students are very
aware of the issues and each persons impact.

Workshops
The audience was divided into two workshops; the purpose of which was to establish a closer
interaction between externals and students, from a variety of universities, in constructive discussions
and brainstorming related to issues of water shortage and the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle); two
of the most pressing issues in Jordan.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle SessionFacilitated by: Mr. Anselm Ibing - Recycling Program Coordinator
Man and Nature:
What happened in the last 150 years:
There was a connection between man and earth and it
is lost now;
Work: switching from farms to offices.
Home: switching from countryside to city.
Food: switching from home grown to supermarkets.
The impact of less recycling:
o
Climatic Change.o Global Resources depletion
and pollution.
o Decreasing Biodiversity.
Collection points in Jordan: Cozmo. Cooperate to make new collection
points and more recycling.

We need to design things that we can reuse again (Sustainable Design)
The ways of reducing
consumption of resources;
including conserving energy,
reducing water consumption,
and reducing waste. Reduce is
probably the most important of
the Three Rs to focus on initially.
Watch a video :
storyofstuff.org
Reusing papers, bottles, bags,
cars Re-pair, re-purpose, re-
invent
Ex: - Reuse seeds from fruit
and vegetables and try to
grow them!
- Reuse your old food
scraps by composting them.
-Reuse old clothing by
donating it to a local charity.
Recycling is the last step.
The materials economy:
Extraction production
distribution consumption;
results in resources use and
pollution.
Recycling omits the extraction and
consumption steps.
The problem with recycling is that it
doesnt fit to everything (example:
cartoons of milk are made of three
layers which cannot be separated
easily when they are all together).
How can we make a difference? (What can we do?)
o Eat less meat.
o Fly less.
o Drive green.
o Recycle.
What has the biggest impact is to get involved: when you make a change, you encourage others
to make a change, too.

Water and Energy sessionFacilitated by: Ms. Hala Zawati, EDAMA
Water Situation
Water Resources
Over 70% of wasted water goes to lack of repairing and fixing
in the infrastructures.
Jordan is one of the poorest countries in water.
18% of the people in the world do not have access to freshwater and this number will rise by 40% by 2025.
The MENA region is considered one of the driest regions in
the world.
100 cubic meters is the water availability per capita in the
MENA region.
By the year 2025, the water availability in MENA will
decrease thus it will become dry.
When it comes to water 100 cubic meters is considered the
poverty line.
Jordan is below the water poverty line.
Saudi Arabia and Libya are also poor in water, but the
difference between those countries and Jordan is in the
money flow (funding for water projects).
In Syria the availability of water is 2,845 cubic meters per
capita. 20 times more than that of Jordans.
-Surface Water (Rain, Rivers
and valleys, etc.).
-Groundwater (renewable
and non-renewable). Ex:
The Dissi.
-Treated Wastewater.
-Desalinized Water
(Brackish and sea water).

Question: How do we get billed for our water?
We get billed for the fresh water and the waste water accumulatively.
Water Solutions
Libya had built a huge man made river to
carry water throughout the country to
solve its water issue. The source of water
was from an underground water body.
A similar water project has started to be
executed in Jordan, sourcing from the
Dissis water.
96% of the population in Jordan has access
to water.
Future water demands in Jordan will
increase, thus the shortage of water will
grow to reach 660million cubic meters.
-Raising awareness inside homes.
-Rain water recycling system for agriculture and each building must have a rain water reservoir.
-Being more conscious about our usage of water.
-Always using the dishwasher full.
-Reusing water for irrigation of plants in our gardens, ex: the water used to wash fruits and
vegetable.
-Stop the plantation of fruits and vegetables that needs lots of water.
-Banning evaporation pans in the Dead Sea.
-Attaching water regulators to our showers and taps.
-Enforcing proper rules.

-Building construction & operations consume 50% of the
worlds energy
-By 2012, Energy Consumption will exceed Abu Dhabis energy
supply.
-Ecological footprint per person: UAE is number one in
ecological footprint, consuming five times what the world can
provide.
Global and MENA overview
- As the Earths temperature rises, snow and ice caps are
melting, increasing the global sea-levels.
- One meter sea level rise would affect 11% of the Arab
population.
- Jordan River will dry up significantly.
- 80% of water is used in agriculture.
