Celebrating Earth Day

On Wednesday, April 22, the National Ozone Unit (NOU) proudly supported the talented young students of Mohammed’s Preschool during their innovative "Recycled Materials Fashion Show."

​To celebrate Earth Day, 30 preschoolers took to the runway to showcase creative outfits crafted entirely from repurposed items. This initiative served as a hands-on lesson in environmental stewardship, transforming everyday waste—such as cardboard, plastic bottles, and old newspapers—into wearable art. By participating in this event, the NOU helped demonstrate to the next generation that "trash" can have a second life, fostering early awareness of sustainability and the importance of protecting our planet.

Grenada Hotel Pilot Shows How R290 Cooling Cuts Costs and Emissions


To assess the potential benefits of climate-friendly cooling, a pilot project was implemented at the True Blue Bay Resort in Grenada, comparing conventional R410A air-conditioning units with highly efficient R290 (propane-based) units. The pilot demonstrates the technical, economic, and climate benefits of transitioning to energy-efficient air-conditioning systems using ultra-low-GWP refrigerants.
