EEG Tree Planting – A continuous responsibility & celebration

by Rohan Kapur | 09-03-2016 19:22







For the past many years since my primary school days, I?m a member of EEG, Emirates Environmental Group, is the first environmental NGO in the world to be accredited with the ISO 14001 certification and it is proudly accredited NGO with the united Nations Convention for Combating Desertification. They are very active in various environmental events, recycling & organizing monthly related lectures. They have really nurtured me into a better eco-active individual.


I have participated & won in many of their recycling drives & it?s a regular feature for me to collect a price for Top Collector in various categories in their annual competitions.


One the drives is planting for a greener future, where they encourage the members to collect and deposit with them a targeted quantity of recyclables in a small period & they become eligible to plant a tree in their own name in the UAE. The site is selected by them & they target a different emirate each time.


Out of Seven Emirates in the UAE they have had this drive of tree plantation so far in the Six emirates & I?m proud & happy to state the all six emirates of UAE have many trees under my name. It implies that I am dedicated to the cause of environment & my recycling has been recognized by this NGO many times. It is not once or twice, consistently & without fail for the past six years I am carrying out these activities & getting the motivation to carry on further.

Each & every piece of recyclable item that has not been thrown at the Landfill is a gift to the Mother Nature & is our survival passport. Another step towards greener earth.


The pictures of one the recent tree plantation carried out in the Emirate of Fujairah, Masafi Friday Market by EEG are attached.


I thank each & every ambassador at this elite forum who have constantly encouraged me & persuade them to carry out the service to the Mother Nature relentlessly.
