Dubai students respond to Go Green campaign

Dubai: Twenty-five Grade One students from the Dubai International Academy sent in pointers on how to lead a more environmentally friendly existence in response to Gulf News's Go Green campaign.

The six-year-olds primarily focus on the need to conserve water, electricity, recycle waste and to stop polluting the marine environment.

The young conservation soldiers offer simple and practical advice for people to follow. Perhaps the world will change.
