Plastic waste has been a pressing problem in deserts, proving to be hazardous to the entire ecosystem. As a part of the Green Choices campaign, Aster Volunteers UAE has partnered with Abu Dhabi 4x4 have conducted a Desert Cleanup drive at Al Madam Super Bowl Area, Sharjah. Over 150 internal and external volunteers, some of them driving their 4x4 vehicles to the venue, spent a productive yet fun morning in the desert, collecting plastic waste and taking responsible action to keep the desert clean. The collected waste was then handed over to BEEAH Tandeef, a sustainable waste management company. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all the volunteers from Aster and Medcare Hospitals UAE for making the cleanup drive a successful event, and for assisting us in our ongoing efforts to make a greener Earth for future generations.
<p>Passion is at the heart of volunteering says student volunteer Darshan. It’s not about how you feel, rather about how you make others feel. He is one of our oldest members, offering his time right from when Aster Volunteers was established.</p>
