The youth of today has a sense of purpose in life. We play the role of shaping the nation. Tunza Eco-generation and many other interactive websites provide youth with platforms and encourage them in making this world a better place to live in.

UAE is an environmentally smart and eco-friendly country that has already achieved a lot in the environment fields. Smart cities, wise use of solar energy and geo-grid designs are only a few examples.

However, as a teenager, I am tuned to dream big and expect more. 

So, I grabbed the opportunity when I was invited to give a speech at the Government and Municipal Best Practices Summit. This summit took place on June 15, 2015 and I was asked to deliver a speech highlighting the expectations of youth from the Government of UAE.

Although I was the only person below the age of 18 present in the summit, the audience was very supportive and appreciative. H.E. Dr. Rashid Bin Fahad, UAE Minister for Water and Environment was among the dignitaries present at the summit. He appreciated my efforts and also asked for all of the youth, not only in UAE but also around the globe, to share the responsibility in achieving a common goal.

So, as representatives of strong will, do share with me on how we can work together and ultimately achieve a pollution free environment!
