Abu Dhabi: Eat smart, save water, walk or bike are some of the green tips offered through a smartphone application for people who wish to go green.

UAE green application is one of the initiatives that will be introduced in the UAE Green Festival held under the theme “Live, learn and have fun in a low carbon world” from March 16 next year.

The one-month-long festival will be organised by several government and private organisations.

“UAE green application will enable people to follow a green lifestyle and have more awareness about the concept of sustainability. The application will tackle environmental issues locally and internationally,” festival organisers told Gulf News.
