Abu Dhabi Eco-Chicks Organize Green Drinks Event

abu dhabi eco chicks green drinksGet your green drinks on in Abu Dhabi tonight with the Eco-Chicks and other eco folks.

If you happen to be passing through the One to One Hotel in Abu Dhabi tomorrow night around 6:30pm, you may stumble across an Abu Dhabi Eco-Chick organized Green Drinks event.  Green Drinks is a loosely organized (yet widely successful) informal meeting group for greenies of all orientations, and has already become popular in Tel Aviv.  It is very exciting to see this movement spreading across the Middle East, and exciting to learn about the active, spunky Abu Dhabi Eco-Chicks.

The Eco-Chicks are requesting that Green Drinkers donate 15 AED at the entrance to the event in order to contribute to marine life protection and enter a raffle to win a weekend at the One to One Hotel (where the event is taking place).

So who are these Eco-Chicks?  They describe themselves as a group of educated, empowered and eco-minded women who want to:

  • Work with the community and in particular women and the younger generation to advocate environmental and social responsibility through raising awareness of these issues
  • Support women currently working and studying in the environmental sector by providing information, advice and mentorships
  • Have fun while establishing and expanding a network of other like-minded women in Abu Dhabi and beyond

A recent Eco-Chicks event, which took place in early May, was the operation of a children’s workshop where kids learned that recycling can be fun.  Kids gathered and were shown how to transform newspapers into gift bags, boxes, hats, and toy creatures.  This event, and the Green Drinks event happening tomorrow night, are just a few examples of the good green work these women are doing in the Abu Dhabi community.

Green Drinks, June 3rd at 6:30pm in the One to One Hotel in Abu Dhabi.  For more information visit the Abu Dhabi Eco-Chicks website.

A fresh oil spill in the Tigris River, filmed by an Iraqi university student, has reignited concern over Iraq's polluted waterways.

Doctor-Led Direct Hair Transplant: What Surgeon Involvement Means for Outcomes

Hair restoration technology continues to evolve, but the surgeon behind the procedure remains the most important factor. Doctor-led hair transplants emphasize careful diagnosis, conservative donor management, natural hairline design, and long-term planning rather than simply maximizing graft counts. By treating donor hair as a limited resource and tailoring each procedure to the patient's future hair loss, experienced surgeons can reduce the need for corrective surgery while delivering more natural, sustainable results.

Data centers in Space? Sophia Space and Apex plan on busing them in

Can data centers really be built in space? Pasadena-based Sophia Space is partnering with Apex to test the idea by launching modular AI computing systems into low Earth orbit in 2027. Using radiation-hardened compute TILEs cooled by passive radiative systems and mounted on scalable satellite buses, the companies aim to prove that edge computing can operate reliably in space. While challenges remain, the project represents an important step toward distributed orbital computing networks that could support everything from climate monitoring and pollution tracking to autonomous spacecraft navigation in an increasingly crowded orbital environment.
