There are a number of ways we can take responsibility for our surroundings, starting by rethinking the way we live and behave on a daily basis. Mr. Al-Enezi urged the crowd to strive for a lifestyle that alters the way we use the energy and natural resources available to us.

Ms. Graham, an Art teacher at GUST, commended Mr. Al-Enezi for his eco work.
