Environment

We are very much concerned with radioactive and conventional military waste being dumped into Persian Gulf waters. This problem is almost a daily occurrence and attention needs to be paid to the repercussions that can take place as a result of changing the ecology of the area, namely environmental disasters, the destruction of wildlife around and dependent on the Persian Gulf, and the dire effects on fish and marine life due to oil and gas dumped in the water.

  • We must make sure that people are taught about how humanity impacts our limited resources, and what we can do to protect them.
  • Waste is dumped into Persian Gulf on a daily basis. Waste accumulation is accelerating, and there is no plan for its permanent isolation from governments in the region.
  • To fulfill the environmental protection of our mission, we must work together to ensure social justice and fair trade.
