Environmentally-friendly and inclusive? Abu Dhabi is the place to be!
Abu Dhabi is certainly one of the cities in the world that’s environmentally-friendly and also inclusive, which is why it should come as no surprise that initiatives in the capital spring keeping that in mind.
This time around, Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has partnered with Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO) to produce 2,500 reusable bags branded with Mission to Zero.
“EAD believes that People of Determination should be empowered and play an active role in society,” says Ahmed Baharoon, Executive Director of Environment Information, Science Outreach Management Sector at EAD.
He adds that the initiative not only encourages People of Determination but also raises awareness of the harms of single-use plastic bags.

This is not the first time that EAD has worked closely with People of Determination.
In 2013, EAD launched the 13th Edition of its annual Enviro-Spellathon programme that was available exclusively in Braille in Arabic for visually impaired students.
Through the Mission to Zero campaign, EAD launched the Pile It Up school campaign in 2021 where schools competed for the collection of single-use plastic bottles for recycling.
