KHDA gives students exclusive experience with Solartaxi en route its world tour

Dr. Al Karam said, "Besides being committed to a cleaner and greener environment, KHDA is interested in instilling environment preservation in our students. We are keen that today's youth learns early about environmental issues and aspects of sustainable development. We brought the Solartaxi to the students at the Academic City so that they could personally meet with the eco-motorists Mr. Palmer and physically and mentally engage in the process. When they see the possibilities they will demand such a car from the manufacturers in the future. These seeds sown now will bear fruit in the future."

Students from the higher educational institutions at the Dubai Academic City got a chance to speak with Louis Palmer, the 35-year old teacher, adventurer and eco-motorist whose global tour aboard the Solartaxi aims to raise awareness about switching from fossil fuels to solar energy, encouraging manufacturers to come up with products that use alternative energy resources.

Louis Palmer says, "The Middle East has the potential to lead the world in solar energy use because of the plentiful supply of sunshine. It is important to engage the youth in the process of sustainable development as they are the future. Being amazed and welcoming the idea of solar energy is not enough, we must get the youth to do more."
