We’re used to protecting ourselves from many different things, whether situations, people’s intentions, or even diseases. But guess what, we tend to neglect one important aspect here which is the environment we live in. Pollution, trash, plastic, and many more daily usage affect our lives mainly negatively. Shoutout to the Egyptian enterprises working towards sustainability; save and be safe!
Here are our picks for some of the country’s environmental heroes.
Very Nile
To all the ones who have a Nile view, aren’t you bothered with the trash and plastic you find in the Nile? It just kills its beauty, not to mention the ecosystem. These amazing people found a solution and collaborated with others to clean the Nile from all the trash and everything unclean you can find in it. The Nile is one of Egypt’s treasures so let’s save it!
Go Clean
Go Clean is a recycling solutions company aiming to raise awareness and encourages people to collect and recycle. Let us set this picture as an example of their work. This fish sculpture is here to raise awareness about the damage done by plastic materials to our marine life. Allowing everyone to dispose of their plastics/paper/metal waste in it, Go Clean collaborated with Banque du Caire to save the sea. Now let’s save the environment with them; check out their app!
