The Earth Day Groceries Project was initiated in the UAE by third grade teacher, Ms. Mona Abinader, who presented the project to the elementary and middle school section of AAG.
The project, which has existed for 15 years, is a global educational program that reaches out to thousands of schools worldwide through the internet. It is the first time the UAE has participated.
