Name:MaithaAlMarzooqi Student ID: 20150003850 ENV 301 A1 As a student at Canadian University of Dubai, I had the chance to go to the tripand participate with my classmates in the waste reducing efforts in order to clean the environmenton Thursday, February 11, 2016. WFE, \"West free environment\" is an important environmental campaign, which is launched by the gulf petrochemical and chemicals association. The aim of this campaign is to increase public awareness. Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the trip because of time conflict. But I went to different place to do this experience in a different way. On Thursday February 18th, 2016. I went to Jumaira kite beach. The choice of the beach was informed by the fact that most people using the area do not care about the waste around as they just keep on dumping more. Events such as the \"Waste Free Environment\" are of crucial importance to Dubai as they are able to remind the people that they have a responsibility to take care of mother Earth. It has been so long that people have taken nature for granted and they ought to realize that it has a way of hitting back which may have long lasting effects. The act of one city being able to take care of the environment means that the whole world will take up the same and through the collective actions we can make the world a better place. The campaign can be improved by ensuring that more stakeholders are brought on board as that will ensure that the event has the needed exposure. That will also ensure that the event is able to reach more people and spread the word of a cleaner environment to more individuals. The event can also be improved by being able to have it being done more often and being able to instill the culture of a cleaner environment into more people. Activities such as the \"Waste Free Environment\" are able to help the future generations by ensuring that they are able to keep the environment safer for the generations. That will ensure that the world is left as a better place for the ones to come and that also instills the culture of taking care of the environment into them and that will never leave them. Waste in Dubai has become a menace since people do not take responsibility as they continue to litter and destroy the beauty of mother Earth. People need to recycle more as well as reuse that will ensure that there is less garbage out there.
