12/9/24, 11:10 AM Launching the 23rd Edition of Clean UAE Campaign - Observer Dubai
In Ajman’s “Al Tallah 1” area, an extraordinary 1,210 volunteers gathered, equipped with cotton
gloves, biodegradable garbage bags, cotton T-shirts, and Caps, to make a meaningful impact on

the environment. Covering an extensive 5-square-kilometer area, their efforts highlighted the

campaign’s dedication to promoting environmental stewardship and sustainability across the
UAE. Collectively, the volunteers removed 1,750 kilograms of waste, including 345 kilograms

of recyclable materials—such as paper, plastic, aluminum cans, glass, and scrap metal—that

were meticulously segregated to be taken to local recycling factories.

In her opening remarks, Ms. Habiba Al Mar’ashi, Co-Founder and Chairperson of Emirates

Environmental Group, highlighted the campaign’s mission. She stated, “The Clean UAE

campaign, held under the patronage of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, is a
national movement that aims to raise awareness about the dangers of waste and pollution and its

impact on human health and the natural biodiversity. Through this campaign, we aim to
effectively engage all the sectors of the community by encouraging participation in

environmental and volunteer activities.

This campaign is more than just a cleaning effort—it is an awareness movement inspiring

positive change. It underscores the fact that environmental preservation is not just one specific
sector’s responsibility but a collective duty. Together, we are taking steps towards a sustainable

and clean future for generations to come. Through this campaign, we reaffirm our commitment
to preserving the beauty and environmental heritage of the UAE, and we encourage everyone to

actively contribute to keeping our surroundings pollution-free and sustainable.”
