Enviornmentally-friendly Park (Kuwait Edition)

By Hessa AlHabshi

When I heard about an environmentally-friendly park, I immediately wanted to go; it's not because Kuwait doesn't usually do this kind of stuff, but because Kuwait really, really does not do this kind of stuff.
It’s not your typical Kuwaiti park. The idea is different from anything made in Kuwait in a while, which is that everything inside it was made of recycled and waste materials produced in Yarmouk (Where the park is located). Over 10 tons of waste including plastics, electronics and tires were used to make everything from the entrance arch to the trees and even the seats.
The park is first of its kind in Kuwait and was organized by KISR (Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research . The Park is found in block two in Yarmouk Area).
