Dubai, July 07, 2022: Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, lit up in support of the Save Soil movement on Tuesday, with a light and laser show projecting Sadhguru message on soil conservation along with global voices on the issue. It also featured Sadhguru motorcycle journey from London to India, covering 30,000 km across 27 nations as part of the movement.

 

Sadhguru addressed the event virtually and expressed his gratitude, commending the UAE government for its participation. Thanking people for their support, Sadhguru noted said “the work has just begun” and pointed out that the real challenge is the speed at which the policies are implemented.

“@BurjKhalifa, iconic fulcrum of UAE lighting up to #SaveSoil is a symbolic expression of commitment of the visionary leadership. The wonderful people & the sensitive leadership can make UAE an ecological leader in the region. Congratulations & Blessings to everyone of you,” Sadhguru said on Twitter.
