The event is to encourage residents across the emirates to get involved, and plenty hope to have the EEG\u00a0visit their area.\u00a0<\/h3>\n

“This year, EEG received a lot of requests from many stakeholders to organise the campaign in their areas which is a sign that the objectives of the campaign were perfectly reached over the last 15 years and the communities are now keen on being involved in it.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dubai residents have expressed frustration at the trash left behind at Al Qudra Lakes<\/h3>\n

With one Lovin Dubai reader sharing photos of mounds of garbage left behind by visitors to the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
