FUJAIRAH // Six hundred indigenous trees were planted in Fujairah as part an environmental campaign in the emirate.
Emirates Environmental Group’s (EEG) campaign, “For Our Emirates We Plant”, aims to plant trees to maintain and sustain an ecological balance and help the national environment as a whole.
The initiative has influenced a large number of people and organisations to collect and deposit paper, plastic, mobile phones, toners, battery, aluminium cans and beverage cartons for recycling. The participants are awarded the opportunity to plant trees under their names at the annual event.
The EEG has managed to plant over 2,093,927 indigenous trees across the country and is now looking to continue with more campaigns planned for 2016 and endeavours to create even more green spaces.
