Environmental Responsibility

Whilst on the 1st Muscat Youth Summit we were inspired to create a blog to raise awarness of the collective responsaibility of our upcoming generation.
In one session we debated what we could do to conserve energy and electricity and therefore reduce the effectes of global climate change and reduce the amount wasted energy that is so precious to our country and our wellbeing.

Imagine your life without electricity! No computer, internet, TV, lights, AC etc. at the moment we are completely reliant on fossil fuels which are so plentiful in our country. Or so we thought! Infact we have roughly 11 years before the oil and gas will run out and we are left in crisis!!

Energy Consuption Crisis...

FACT: By leaving a TV on standby you can save up to 17 rials a year on energy consumption

FACT: If you boil the kettle regularly throughout the day you will probably spend around 44rials every year

Energy is produced by burning fossil fuels in a power plant however this creates CO2 and other greenhouse gases that damage the environment and create Global Warming. Oman is a main distributer of oil and gas but as you know, supplies won't last forever. It's now time to conserve what energy we can and therefore shorten the time span of this fuel. By doing this we can create more time to reasearch efficient and economic renewable energy sources such as wind power, solar power, hydroelectric etc.


How long do you keep your AC on each day?

Do you turn the lights off when you leave a room?

Do you car pool to conserve petrol?

Do you take the bus when you can?

Do you unplug appliances or turn off the switch when not using it?

Do you heat your water constantly even in summer when your not using it?


These are all ways you can help to conserve energy and therefore reduce the pollution which is circling in our atmosphere due to large amounts of energy production.

It's OUR responsibility!!
