Every Year on the Earth Day, I attend the Annual Walkathon organized by BEEAH in Sharjah. But this year they did not hold the Walkathon. Hence I could get an opportunity to do something new. SInce French is my first language at schoo,l I am now  a member of Alliance Fransais Dubai and hence I got an invite to attend the "Conference International Earth Day" on Tuesday,April 21st 2015 from 8 pm to 9.30 pm. It was an eye opener for me ahead of the Paris 2015, CLimate Change conference which will be a historic event

The United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP21 or CMP11 will be held in Paris, France in 2015. The international climate conference will be held at the Le Bourget site from 30 November to 11 December 2015.This will be the 21st yearly session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 21) to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the 11th session of the Meeting of the Parties (CMP 11) to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. The conference objective is to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, from all the nations of the world

Besides at school as  in every year on the occasion of Earth Day we made paper bags and decorated it with our pledge and these bags were used for sale at the school canteen.

Also every year I make some useful thing from waste before Earth Day. This year I made an Accessories Storage Box out of unwanted cardboard box. I used colored paper to decorate it. It was so much attractive that my friends want me to make one for each of them to store their stationery items etc.

For me and my family It is always Earth Day everyday as we religiously follow  the 3R's REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE at home, school, office and everywhere we go.
