With the successful completion of sustainable year in 2023, the President of the UAE HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan has officially extended the “Year of Sustainability” to continue into 2024. This is with the aim of protecting and preserving the environment for the benefit of future generations. As the leading environmental NGO in the country, we are dedicated to continue our efforts and lead all sectors of the society through sustainable actions to guide the way.
We have rolled out several projects in the first two months and we wish to end the first quarter of the year on a high note. We are once again opening the doors to engage with our valuable members in the “Paper Walk” project. Exclusively open to EEG membership (Corporate, Academic, Individual & Students), this project aims to commemorate and add value to the Earth Hour celebrations conducted annually.
EEG is delighted to invite you to participate in the Paper Walk project by depositing paper waste for recycling at the EEG office as per the below quantities.
Student/Individual Members | Academic Members | Corporate/Associate Members |
150 kg | 350 kg | 500 kg |
While the Earth Hour is to be held on 23rd of March, considering the convenience of our members, our doors will be open on 22nd Friday and 24th, Sunday for our members to deposit the paper recyclables.
Participants who achieve the targets will be given an E-certificate of participation and a native tree sapling to plant under their names on 24 December 2024.
The number of trees will automatically multiply if you manage to deposit double or triple the set targets.
EEG’s office is open for Paper collection between 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM Sunday to Friday (Ramadan Timings may vary).
