It’s World Environment Day And This Is What Several Brands In The UAE Are Doing To Take Part

It’s the day to remind us all that we have one Earth and one Earth only.

Every day, the UAE is taking more and more strides to ensure that the country isn’t just futuristic in every aspect but that its current actions could help preserve and aid future generations to come.
