About

You’ve seen us all over the school, you’ve heard about us and you’ve seen your friends join us. So who are we and what do we do?

ecubed. e3. eee. emancipating everyone’s earth. (saving it ;))
- a primarily school-based student run environmental organization.

We are a group of ambitious students who are aiming to fight for our deteriorating Earth. Climate change and Global Warming are just a few of the issues affecting us as a whole today. It is no longer about cities or countries, it’s about our unified planet. So what are you doing to help? Of course climate change and global warming is already happening, there’s nothing we can do to stop it.

We’re already too late.

But we can slow it down and try to get ourselves back to normal. This is our goal. How will we accomplish these?
Three main factors:
a) Implementation of recycling and Global Warming awareness in all schools.
b) Implementation and awareness of green lifestyles.
c) Use more efficient renewable resources in Dubai e.g Solar Panels

- start small. in schools. in Dubai. and infect the whole world with our spirit and methods-

VISION: We’re all about the Youth. This is where young adults of all ages get together and- as cliché as it may sound- try to make a difference. We are going to stand up to make the Youth aware, while enjoying it. This isn’t just about making the Earth greener, but making our lifestyles greener, making ourselves more responsible and getting in contact with people from all over the world to support a similar cause.

It’s Hot
It’s Happening
It’s Now.

So get in, and join us.
