"PCFC has always remained at the forefront of the environmental protection drive in the UAE, and we have been meticulous in ensuring that all our facilities and operations comply with the most stringent environmental standards. The event we organized to commemorate National Environment Day was in keeping with our commitment to strive towards a more environmentally-aware society," Maryam Al Shamsi, Coordinator of the Department of Society and Government Relations, PCFC, said.

"The brochures and leaflets distributed during the event contained valuable tips on how to keep the environment clean, and served as an effective environment guide for individuals," Al Shamsi ,added.

A contest was organized as part of the event, wherein participants were required to answer the question "How can you become an environment employee?' Dubai Municipality is reviewing the answers received to decide the winners, who will be handed out exciting prizes. 2006 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)
