The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has visited 253 houses in the Zabeel area to raise awareness on protecting natural resources while adopting a sustainable lifestyle. The visits are part of the Dewa's Neighbourhood Campaign.
As many as 65 Dewa employees and 40 volunteers from the Zayed University and the Higher Colleges of Technology, in addition to female students of the Community Development Centre were part of the group that made the visits.
"Dewa is keen on launching awareness programmes and innovative initiatives to encourage our people to adopt a positive lifestyle which, in turn, contributes to energy and water conservation.
"The Dewa has succeeded in achieving great results in respect of energy and water conservation during the last seven years. Savings reached 1.344 GW/h of electricity, 5.6 billion imperial gallons of water, and 715,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. The total amount of these savings is Dh841 million," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dewa.
"We aim to enhance direct communication with the community to spread awareness. We have witnessed the campaign's positive impacts on the ground, and how people interact with its activities. I would like to thank Dewa's team for interacting with various segments of the community in a number of residential areas."
Dewa coordinated with the Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities Department for the campaign. The volunteers were accompanied by Dubai Police. Residents welcomed commending the volunteers for their advice on conservation.
