Emirates Environmental Group organises tree plantation

The Emirates Environmental Group, EEG, recently organised its annual "For Our Emirates We Plant" campaign in the emirate of Umm al-Qaiwain.

During the event, eco-friendly residents from all sectors of the society; public and private institutions, academic institutions and families, came together and planted over 230 indigenous trees of Ghaf, Sidra, Samar and Neem variety across two locations. These trees on maturity will help mitigate 1.36 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Habiba Al Marashi, Chairperson of EEG said, "Through this activity we are working diligently towards achieving the targeted the Sustainable Development Goals ensuring the conservation and safeguarding of the valuable resources."
