The initiative aims to encourage not only UAE citizens, but everybody around the globe to become more sustainable and give back to their community.
We invite you to pledge to give more to the cause for sustainability in 2017 by signing the petition and outlining the ways you will become more sustainable this year. Your actions will help to reduce climate change and create increased awareness of one of the world’s most pressing issues.

Be more sustainable by reducing the amount of waste; by conserving water and other forms of energy; reducing CO2 emission by dropping cars and using public means of transport; and educating yourself and other importance of reducing, recycling and reusing techniques for a better tomorrow.
Sustainability is not only a science but also a way of living! I have been appointed as "sustainability ambassador" within my family members and friends.I pledge to be more sustainable in 2017 and to influence and spread the sustainability messages within the community.
I will spread the sustainability culture through my family and friends, and I will dedicate my time and efforts in Masdar Institute to find sustainable solutions to energy problems.
Great, this should encourage us to be more sustain. One thing i confirm, as an oil industry process engineer who works in projects and design of oil field. i promise to use the safest, sustainable and the latest technology during designing of oil fields.
I think that this petition is a wonderful way to link sustainability and giving, by giving back to the most precious thing to us, the Earth!

Every day we make choices in our lives that affect the environment, the climate and other species. To build more sustainable society we need to encourage green living. Here are some steps to become more sustainable in 2017. 1. Think twice before shopping. 2. Make sure your big purchases have big environmental benefits. 3. Ditch the plastic. 4. Boycott products that endanger wildlife. 5. Pay attention to labels. 6. Be water wise. 7. Drive less, drive green. 8. Green your home.

This year of giving, I have decided to involve UAE residents in my #ZeroWasteUAE project/practices. I will be focusing on Sustainable products this year on my sustainable lifestyle blog and spread awareness about consuming wisely and reducing waste to increase demand of sustainable products and accelerate Green Consumerism in UAE.
