The emirate of Fujairah welcomes Heroes of the UAE
After successfully declaring Wadi Wurayah as the first mountain protected area of UAE in March this year, Fujairah emirate showed again its intention to work for a better future. On November 13th and 14th, the emirate hosted the EWS-WWF ‘Heroes of the UAE’ campaign in Fujairah town, at Lulu Hypermarket.
EWS-WWF and dedicated Fujairah Municipality staff were supported by enthusiastic volunteers from ‘Ownak Ya Watan’, an east coast volunteer organization, in the drive to raise awareness how to conserve energy at home and help reduce the carbon footprint. With complimentary energy-saving light bulbs, ‘Fujairah Heroes’ provided visitors with useful information and energy conservation tips, encouraging them to pledge to reduce energy consumption in their homes.
