As part of the activities of the Civil Engineering Department, College of Engineering, Al-Mustaqbal University, an awareness campaign entitled “Responsible Consumption and Waste Reduction” was held on November 11, 2026, with the participation of Civil Engineering students, under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Saif Salam Saud. The campaign aimed to raise awareness of the importance of responsible consumption and promote the efficient use of resources by highlighting the environmental and economic consequences of excessive consumption and waste. It also encouraged individuals to adopt sustainable daily practices that contribute to conserving natural resources and reducing waste. The campaign included a set of awareness messages and practical guidelines focusing on the importance of rationalizing water and energy consumption, reducing food waste, promoting reuse and recycling, avoiding excessive consumption, and encouraging environmentally friendly practices that help minimize negative impacts on natural resources and the climate. This initiative reflects the Civil Engineering Department's commitment to strengthening environmental responsibility among students and raising awareness of the role individuals and communities play in achieving sustainability. It also promotes positive behaviors that contribute to environmental protection and building a more sustainable future. This activity aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 12 (SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production) through promoting resource efficiency and reducing waste, and Sustainable Development Goal 13 (SDG 13 – Climate Action) by encouraging sustainable practices that help reduce environmental impacts and address climate change.
