Executive Director of TAQATI Aref Abou Zahr Statement on World Environment Day 2018

“Pollution levels are becoming dangerously high and adoption of measures aimed at ensuring lasting protection of the planet and its natural resources has become our immediate priority. The significance of awareness programs must not be overlooked in making environmentally responsible behavior a part of our core values. We remain committed to encouraging general members of the community to be responsible for their own environment, through various campaigns. On the occasion of this year’s World Environment Day, we urge every individual to be environmentally responsible and minimize the use of single-use plastic in their day to day lives, thereby marking the beginning of a movement that is capable of bringing in significant change.”
