ABU DHABI, February 7, 2021
Abu Dhabi Waste Management Center (Tadweer) has announced that it had carried out a campsite clean-up awareness drive in collaboration with Abu Dhabi City Municipality and Abu Dhabi Police.
The month-long drive was aimed at educating campers about the importance of ensuring the cleanliness of desert campsites and highlighting the negative effects of littering and dumping waste in undesignated areas.
It included various awareness activities to encourage sustainable and environmentally responsible behavior among campers and sensitize them about the challenges resulting from improper waste disposal on the desert environment.
As part of the campaign agenda, Tadweer and Abu Dhabi City Municipality formed a task force in collaboration with their strategic partners to conduct joint field visits and communicate the campaign's key messages and objectives to the public through various channels.
Tadweer Director General Dr Salem Al Kaabi said: "In carrying out the campsite clean-up awareness drive for the second year in a row, we aimed to promote the cleanliness of public places and ensure the aesthetic appeal of the emirate."
"This supports Abu Dhabi government’s objective of achieving sustainable development as envisaged by Abu Dhabi Environment Vision 2030," he noted.
Al Kaabi pointed out that the clean-up drive was focused on promoting sound environmental practices among campers by educating them about safe and eco-friendly waste disposal methods.
"Such efforts will help us create a clean, and safe environment in the emirate. At Tadweer, we plan to conduct more of these awareness campaigns on a regular basis to ensure a healthy, clean and safe desert environment for all," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
