The activity will take the first step in Sana’a Trade Center (STC) which is also known as Libyan Center on Sunday 10th from 10- 12pm.

The objective of this event is to get the community, merchants, and shopping malls gain awareness and get them to use environmental bags in order to make a difference together, “in fact this work is not about one country only it has contact with all environment crisis going on even in Pakistan, Chile and other locations.” said Marwan al-Sobaei, the coordinator of the event.
