Environment ministry urges students to adopt sustainable habits

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture has emphasized that raising awareness among school students about protecting natural resources is a key foundation for instilling sustainable behaviors in society.

The ministry noted that the return to school is an important opportunity to foster environmental culture and strengthen responsibility toward natural resources among young people.

The ministry called on students to adopt positive habits both inside and outside school, such as tightly closing water taps after use to conserve water, disposing of waste in designated areas, using reusable water bottles, and avoiding food waste by only taking what is needed.

The ministry added that these daily practices help preserve natural resources, reduce waste, and promote sustainability, while also developing environmental awareness among students. This, in turn, prepares a generation more conscious of the importance of conservation, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 to enhance sustainable development and improve quality of life.
