Support grows for Go Green drive

Monday, Jun 16, 2008

Abu Dhabi: A retail chain will on Monday introduce environment-friendly shopping bags in support of Gulf News's Go Green campaign.

About 10 outlets of the Abu Dhabi Cooperative Society (Adcoops) will start using eco-friendly bags. George Mojica, General Manager of Adcoops, said it is extending its support to Gulf News's Go Green campaign by introducing oxo-biodegradable bags.

Meanwhile, over 25 million used tyres in Abu Dhabi pose a threat as they are dumped in landfills and desert areas. Majid Al Mansouri, secretary-general of the Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi and chairman of the Higher Committee for Waste Management, told Gulf News, companies have been dumping tyres because of the absence of a waste disposal mechanism.
