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!!

Rubbish, trash, litter, garbage, refuse, worthless material ...

FACT: The average person throws away about 2kg of rubbish per day!!
Have you ever walked along the beach in Oman with the crashing waves and sun reflecting golden rays of light up into the bright blue sky, feeling the sand shift between your toes? Don't you love it? Then why do we see rubbish littering our beaches and ruining the perfect scene?

It's so easy to just pick up a couple of pieces of litter each time as well as your own ... it may not be much but if we all picked up a few pieces of litter the beach would be a better place. Remember the only thing you should leave is footprints

Ever swam with a turtle elegantly gliding along or been to Turtle Beach to see them laying their eggs and watch the little baby turtles skuttling into the sea? Turtles are as much a national icon in Oman as the oryx and we should treasure them just the same.
However you remember all those plastic bags you threw away or 'accidentally' left on the beach? Well turtles mistake them for jellyfish which are their main food source and choke to death! Think before you throw!
