earth-day-2014The US Consulate will tomorrow [22 April] screen two environmental documentaries as part of the annual Earth Day celebrations.

The first features a park in Cairo, one of the most populated cities in the world, which was created out of a 500-year-old dump and the second focuses on green energy.
