‘We recognize that preserving our energy resources will be one of the greatest challenges in our drive towards sustainable development. This, however, will not materialize unless the different facets of our society adopt energy conservation principles in their core values. The future generations will be the chief beneficiary of our achievements and the best judge of what we accomplish in this field' His Highness Sheikh Mohammed We at DPS Academy realize that the 1st step towards preserving energy resources is to cut down on fuel consumption and therefore,we have reduced the transport fee for the children, irrespective of location, from 5000 AED per year to 1000 AED per year as a flat charge for the Academic Session 2014-15. This, we trust will encourage parents to send children using school transport which will reduce both energy cost and road congestion. Plus, surely this will give students more time with each other to develop friendship and harmony. We have taken other initiatives for the betterment of the environment like having our own organic garden. We need to remember that the earth is not a gift from our ancestors, but a legacy we leave to our heirs.
