We don’t normally associate the Middle East, rich in oil, with anything that is remotely environmentally friendly. However, this idea has been changed by Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Ali al Nuaimi of the United Arab Emirates.

Known as the ‘Green Sheikh’, Al Nuaimi is part of one of the ruling royal families and has changed is priority direction from the profitable oil refining industry to becoming one of the world’s biggest environmental defenders. His change in attitude has taken him on a journey and Al Niaimi now not only promotes, but is involved in some of the largest global initiatives and organizations for the protection of the earth. The Green Sheikh is not only involved in, but walks the walk in his daily life in the reduction of his carbon footprint.
