Switcher of the Month
We are proud to announce that our Switcher of the Month in September is the Journalist Nader Manaseer founder of Eco Hikers, a movement of like-minded people who make you discover the beauty of the Jordanian nature by hiking and collecting trash around Amman.
““Humans are destroying this planet, so for me, it was a great opportunity to help our planet and explore Jordan on a budget,” Lina Anthem says.
On a recent hike in Jordan, Eco Hikers picked up 300 bags of garbage. Another time, hikers picked up enough waste to fill two trucks. Every hike is different, but every hike makes a difference to the environment. Manaseer hopes in the future, more people will be inspired to pick up their own trash and recycle.
