Brief Explanation

Recycling is not a part of people’s lives in the UAE. EEG wanted to promote ‘paper recycling’ and get people to come to the centre with stacks of paper. The campaign was led by a Facebook application with one big difference: it was connected to EEG’s centre. The moment a participant deposited paper at the centre, the barren tree online grew leaves, instantly. This was spread through print, ambient, e-mails. It spread virally on radio, blogs, press and Facebook. Individuals across nationalities, schools, corporations participated. We captured the government’s attention. 70,000kgs of paper was collected. 37% participants became EEG members.
