As part of an initiative designed by the Abu Dhabi Environment Agency, some 50 schools will strive to go green by curtailing their ecological footprint. The Al-Madaris Al-Mustadama initiative, or sustainable schools, will assist academic institutions in the emirate to conduct “green audits” and adopt firm and effective measures to curb their affect on the environment. As part of the initiative, the institutions will train their educators to be able to impart awareness of environmental issues to their students.
