Mrs. Habiba Al Marashi, Chairperson, Emirates Environmental Group
 

Mrs. Habiba Al Mar'ashi is a founding member of the Emirates Environmental Group, which began in 1991 with 12 members. The EEG was formed (and remains) as a voluntary, non-government organization. The group is open to all nationalities and all ages. Mrs. Al Mar'ashi currently chairs a membership of more than one thousand two hundred members (individuals, corporate groups, schools, colleges & universities, government and international institutions).

Through her work with the EEG, Mrs. Al Mar'ashi aims to facilitate education and awareness of local and global environmental issues across the community.

She seeks to promote positive action and to encourage individual and collective responsibility for the preservation and protection of the environment. She endeavours to collect and collate relevant information, making it available for educational and research purposes.

Profile: Since 1991, the Emirates Environmental Group has organized a variety of public education forums and community projects aimed at increasing social awareness about environmental issues that affect our every day lives. Additionally the numerous community involvement projects from nationwide Can Collection Campaigns to Clean up Drives, organized by the EEG, have produced visible, measurable, contributions towards the improved quality of our local environment.

Our commitment, too, to involve youth, of all nationalities, in environmental protection programs and education will have far reaching and permanent effects beyond the local community, as the concern towards environmental protection, will most likely develop into a lifelong commitment.

We have been able to achieve considerable successes, in raising consciousness and improving the environment, but only through the generous support of corporations and individuals alike. But so much more is yet to be done. We have ambitious goals for the year 2001 and to achieve them, we need the support of organizations, like yours. Your Corporate Membership, together with our programs, will enable us to work together for a better environment.

By becoming a corporate member, your organization will join an exclusive network of organizations that have confirmed their commitment to "give something back" not only to the local community, but to the global community as well.

A number of benefits are extended to our corporate members. As a member, your organization will have access to our environmental library and database, the opportunity to present and speak at EEG organized seminars, attend EEG monthly General meetings, receive monthly updates and bi-annually Wastepaper magazines as well as participate in all our recycling projects. Your organization will also be provided with a Certificate of Corporate Membership.

We have enclosed a Corporate Membership Form for your ready perusal and look forward to welcoming your organization as a corporate member of the EEG.

Achievements : Under Mrs. Al Mar'ashi's able stewardship, the Group went on from a fledgling NGO to become a large conglomerate of like thinking, environment conscious individuals and organisations working together for the realisation of sustainable development in the country and abroad.
