"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." --Jane Goodall
The Paper Bag Boy of Abu Dhabi
As a young boy, Abdul Muqeet's concerns are not about playing sports or being with friends. Instead, Abdul is on a mission to protect his world. After learning about the terrible effects of plastic bags on the environment, Abdul decided to take a stand. Since he was 8-years-old, Abdul has been making paper bags from recycled newspapers. To date, he has completed over 5,000 of his "Mukku bags," donating them to local grocers. Due to his hard work, many shoppers and even teachers at Abdul's school have converted to using paper bags. As Abdul leads the way in helping to protect our planet, watch how his hard work has earned him global recognition.
BE THE CHANGE
When going shopping, make the switch to paper bags when purchasing items. Alternatively, bring along your own reusable bags made from fabric.
