Around 3 million Muslims, from all around the world, go to Hajj each year.
This huge influx of people can affect the environment and put a strain on local ecosystems in terms of generated waste, overconsumption, and carbon footprint. Yet, a chance presents itself to pilgrims every year to play a crucial role in minimizing the environmental impact this trip has in line with Muslim values of stewardship, balance, and wisdom. Pilgrims can practice sustainable behaviors, such as reducing waste, conserving water and energy, and respecting the natural environment to preserve this blessing for future generations!
