GREEN HOPE UAE?S CAMPAIGN FOR ?CLEAN UP THE WORLD?

by | 18-12-2012 04:39 recommendations 0

On my return from Rio+20, I founded ?Green Hope UAE? , an environmental platform for children and youth in this country . Our sole aim is to carry forward the Rio legacy by involving children and youth in working towards a green and sustainable future.

It was a moment of great pride for us when Dubai Municipality accepted us to participate in their  ?Clean Up The World? campaign . The Union Square Station is Dubai?s busiest metro station and the area is frequented by hundreds of travellers each day . This area was allotted to us by the municipality for the clean up .

On the designated day , our group of enthusiastic volunteers from several schools across Dubai and Sharjah gathered at the venue . We received special T-shirts , collection bags and gloves . The inspectors guided us and told us how to break up into groups and collect the trash .

Over the next few hours , we spread out across the area and cleaned it of litter. There was all types of trash , from cigarette butts to bottles to food cartons. It really was quite disgusting to see how people could litter so much.

Our effort was reported in UAE?s largest English daily GULF NEWS . Link below :
