ALHOSN University Signs Paper-Less Day Charter
ALHOSN University, represented by Vice
Chancellor and CEO, Prof. Abdul Rahim
Sabouni, signed a Paper-Less Day Charter
initiated by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi
(EAD). The charter is a symbol of UAE’s commitment
towards protecting the environment and will be
presented to the United Nations Environment
Program (UNEP) to help spearhead the Paper-Less
Day campaign globally next year.
The signing of the charter follows ALHOSN
University’s recent participation in the ‘Paper-Less
Day 2010’ campaign organized by EAD as part of
week-long international activities marking the UN
World Environment Day on June 5, 2010.
ALHOSN joined more than 100,000 individuals
and organizations in abstaining from all nonessential
printing and copying of paper during the
day. The university urged staff and faculty to print
only essential documents, use electronic means
whenever possible, print on both sides of paper to
prevent wastage, and mail a record of their paper
use to ALHOSN’s Student Records Officer at the end
of the day to analyze paper consumption patterns.
Last year, the EAD initiative helped prevent the
emission of 157 kilograms of CO2 and saved the
equivalent of two trees. ■

and promoting activities and programs that foster
our students’ academic excellence and personal
growth. Because it is important for our students to

in campaigns such as the one we are organizing at
Marina Mall. We believe this kind of cooperation will
help us achieve higher levels of success that benefit
our institution, students and the community,”
