CAIRO – 6 June 2022: As part of the celebration of World Environment Day, which falls annually on June 5, Baron Empain Palace in Heliopolis organized a number of events under the slogan "We Only Have One Earth."

 

 

 

 

The celebration was held in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment, the UNESCO Future Builders Club, and the National Food Safety Authority.

 

 

 

 

Director of Baron Palace Basma Selim said a series of lectures for 25 children from the Asmarat neighborhood was organized as part of the celebration, with the aim of acquainting the young members of the Heliopolis Library with topics related to sustaining environmental resources, reducing waste, benefiting from waste, and recycling. A series of awareness films were also screened to emphasize the importance of protecting limited resources.
