My Youth Expression to the Government of UAE
by \| 07-07-2015 05:20 0
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!

Presenting in such summit where dignitaries of high calibre were present is such a great feat. Congrat! While reading a publication on sustainability which I downloaded from Institution of Structural Engineers, I came across one (proposed) Masdar City which is to be the world's first zero carbon, zero waste, car-free city, 100% reliant on renewable energy and uses grey water (waste water) for irrigation- a synergetic environment & entirely sustaining city in UAE. I don't know if you've heard about this city or you know about the progress of its construction. If you do, I'll be glad to know more about this sustainable city that elicit awe.
