Synergy, the youth group, for the second time celebrated UAE National Environment Day by planting 34 trees at the Tadweer Waste Composting Plant in Dubai and encouraging the youth to get an insight on waste composting and waste management, thus reducing and lifting the pressure off the landfills. The enthusiastic group observed the 17th National Environment Day by dedicating the first 17 trees to the present generation and the following half to the future generations.

 

The UAE marks the National Environment Day on February 4 every year and the week follows activities and events to highlight and galvanise public action and awareness about key environmental issues in the emirates. The aim is to support the spirit of individual and collective initiatives and responsibility among all segments of the society on environmental issues.

 

Touring the facility, the youngsters got an opportunity to see the process of solid waste sorting and recycling, understanding the sorting process and end composting products. The demonstrations of how the composting process is conducted from the waste were very informative. This event also marks the testimony of Tadweer’s mission that goes beyond the commercial purposes and aims at creating and establishing a quality environment through educational partnerships and leadership, increasing waste reduction, recycling and resource conservation.
