It was intended to encourage the community to become ambassadors of ‘green lifestyles’ and highlight the positive contributions individuals can make. The winning image, captured by Nadia Saleh from the American University of Sharjah, and the runner-up photos were displayed throughout the 3rd Annual EGBC Congress.
