Earth Hour

Since 2007, the world has been taking an hour – called Earth Hour Day – to turn off the lights and raise awareness of global warming and all other environmental catastrophes.

But if you are an environmentalist, a parent, or any considered citizen of the earth who doesn’t want to leave the planet worse than how we found it, then turning off the lights for one hour is not enough for you.

So here rises the question, how can you turn every hour of your life into earth hour?

Surprisingly, the answer is quite simple, you can help the environment and reduce your carbon footprint by living in an eco-friendly compound.

Nowadays, many of the new compounds in Egypt have started turning green by using renewable energy sources, prompting walkability, and generally taking extra steps to ensure a healthier living environment.

With this in mind, let’s take a quick look at some of Cairo’s top eco-friendly residential compounds.

Badya also has tree-lined pedestrian trails and lush greenery. The cherry on top of all that greenery is that Badya is the very first compound in the MENA Region to abide by the UN’s sustainable goals.
