Sharjah City Centre and Deira City Centre are doing their part to protect the earth in recognition of Earth Day, annual global event on April 22nd celebrated in more than 192 countries with the aim to raise awareness of environmental issues.

Educating shoppers about waste conservation and recycling, Sharjah City Centre is encouraging people to visit the mall on Earth Day and exchange their plastic bags for a re-usable jute bag. Durable and convenient, these jute bags are made from all natural materials and can be used for shopping and day trips, minimizing plastic bag waste. Over 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year worldwide, or 1 million bags used every minute*. A single plastic bag can take more than a year to degrade, resulting in a variety of threats to the environment.

Shoppers can also visit Deira City Centre’s LOVE Art gallery to view a unique photo exhibition displaying ‘trashion’ – a fusion of recycled goods and fashion. The ‘trashion’ outfits were part of a school community project and fashion show hosted by Mirdif City Centre earlier this month, raising awareness of the importance of recycling amongst young children.
