There awareness campaigns would play a vital role for Dubai Plan 2021 which is to transform the city into a smart city with more sustainability and less pollution . Campaign such as 'Change Begins with Us? helped to create awareness among the residents of the city to reduce the pollution and carbon footprints and shift to the sustainable ways of living. The campaign encouraged the residents to limit the usage of heavy electric appliances during the peak hours (12-6pm) so as to reduce the pressure on electricity and power industry , such helps in improving the efficiency and reliability of the transmission and distribution networks and helps reduce the amount of fuel needed to produce energy .The campaign was promoted at various malls , govt departments etc. Campaigns like this further supports Dewa?s efforts to reduce the pollution and carbon footprints and maitain neat & clean environment for everyone.
