Technology and the UAE National Agenda (Sustainable environment and infrastructure)

In the UAE His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai has launched a 7-year program called the National Agenda which then got the government  to the UAE vision for 2021.In this national agenda, there are 6 different pillars that are: Cohesive Society and Preserved Identity, Safe Public and Fair Judiciary, Competitive Knowledge Economy, First-Rate Education System, World-Class Healthcare and Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure.

Today in the lesson we decided to focus on one of the pillars which is the Sustainable environment and infrastructure, so we then wrote on how we as students can use technology to help give a sustainable environment around us, here is a description of how we can use technology to give a sustainable environment.

In our society today, technology has several aims towards.However today most of our society depends on technology/devices for most of the categories in our lives.,for example, there are different impacts of technology such as socializing, raising awareness on different concepts  but also in a way environmentally.For example me as a student I can use applications like retina interfaces that can then help reduce the energy that we then use to make ink and paper that will then reduce the amount of paper used in the school, other than that those applications can also cut down on our tree devastation and on our forest clear cutting; which will then support creating a sustainable environment.Second of all we can use the different softwares on technology like canva or piktochart and then we can use the softwares to create posters and flyers to raise awareness about keeping our environment eco-friendly and also sustainable another option is you can also create a website.The third way we can use technology to create a sustainable environment is an action that we will have to take as a class/grade/school which is instead of having copybooks and using papers for our work in school we can recycle the paper and instead use our devices for our work instead of textbooks and copybooks.

To conclude as students we can use technology in several different ways like creating flyers, poster and websites to raise awareness, use our devices in school instead of copybooks and lastly by using applications to reduce the amount of energy to make paper and ink which will then reduce the amount of paper we use in the school.Those are all ways that will help us deliver a sustainable environment around us.
