ETA Star's 'Green' campaign on Channel 4 is an instant hit among listeners

Listeners of the radio stations were provided with tips to make their environment "green", through the day during the fortnight-long campaign that concluded recently.

Listeners were asked to state on what have been their contributions to make the environment "green".

Each day one listener whose actions to make the environment "greener" were better than others were awarded.

A specially designed "green car" went up to the homes of the winners to give away the prizes. A live uplink was provided from the winners' home when the prizes were being handed over.

The unique radio campaign concluded with the launch of ETA Star's Verde Residences and Offices in Dubai Maritime City, which is designed to achieve a Gold rating, as provided by the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) programme.

Commenting on the radio campaign, Mr. Shyam Sunder, General Manager - Marketing, ETA Star said:
