“Abu Dhabi has reduced the use of single-use plastic bags in retail stores by 87 million since the emirate introduced a ban on June 1.

The Environment Agency Abu Dhabi said the reduction is equivalent to half a million bags a day, with the overall use of single-use plastic bags down by more than 90 per cent.

Abu Dhabi banned single-use plastic bags to protect the environment and address the high rate of plastic bag use across the UAE, which is almost four times the global average.

According to figures issued by the World Government Summit in February 2019, 11 billion plastic bags are used in the Emirates each year...

Routine inspections conducted by various governmental organisations revealed that more than 80 per cent of outlets are offering environment-friendly options or charging a fee for reusable plastic shopping bags.

Dr Shaikha Al Dhaheri, secretary general of the agency, said the reduction in the consumption of single-use plastics will also reduce emissions and will help the waste sector divert 80 per cent of municipal solid waste in Abu Dhabi away from landfills.

“The single-use plastic policy in Abu Dhabi addresses the issue of plastic pollutants that leak into the environment and cause damage," she said.

It has also introduced an app called Baadr — named after the Arabic word for "initiate" — that aims to educate, encourage and reward users looking to shift to a more environmentally friendly way of living.

The agency said it is also partnering with 30 private and public entities to develop a recovery system to collect and recover about 8,000 tonnes of plastic bottles over the next five years, which will go directly to the emirate’s recycling sector.

In 2022, more than 30 million plastic bottles were recovered, compared with 7.25 million bottles in 2021, and more than 10 tonnes of plastic is being collected weekly, equal to approximately 850,000 bottles.” -via The National News / UAE, 11/27/22

It's not "going to be a good outcome" if his patients don't "align with his values" -you mean people who don't align with your genocidal apologism and zionist terrorist agenda have the potential to be harmed during their surgeries??

That medical license needs to be revoked.

You can also report him here:

One of my friends is a nurse, and has had to treat people and work with staff who are racist pieces of shit, but she would be the one losing her job/be isolated if she tried to address it with her management team. Seeing zionists like him proudly say he would use his position of power to hurt and abuse people... just despicable.

Also update: to the recent anon who was berating me in my inbox for 'labeling him a zionist' I did a little more research on him, and this is my update for those interested in reading my follow-up.

He's pro-Israel and was in Jerusalem with his family when the October's 7th attack happened. Here is some more context:
