Technological Environmental Education in the Arab World: Case of Kingdom of Bahrain Nahed Salman College of Science University of Bahrain Sakhir, Kingdom of Bahrain 19931327@stu.uob.edu.bh Mahmood Saeed Mustafa Alalawi College of Business Ahlia University Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain malalawi@ahlia.edu Ahamed Al-Shaalan College of Business University of Technology Bahrain Salmabad, Kingdom of Bahrain ahmedalshaalan@gmail.com Mariam Al-Mannai College of Science University of Bahrain Sakhir, Kingdom of Bahrain malmnnai@uob.edu.bh Abstract— Technology's influence on the environment is evident. It is linked to electricity. Visually, environmental issues are filling the World with abandoned equipment situations and rapid obsolescence of electronics goods. Most of the World is buying what they already have. Consumption control systems say it all. However, the recycling idea built on savings concepts can help save the day. Naturally, the technology is in favor of batteries, while diesel is still dominating. Shifting the power to the sun will not be easy. Resorting to the sun as the main source of energy needs diligent work. The road is fraught with difficulties, but there are signs of a transition to solar energy. This is apparent with the adoption of cars and most devices! The “solar air conditioner” remains a key puzzle in the energy transformation of the earth’s recovery. Until the atmosphere returns to the maximum reasonable extent of oxygen, a person will be able to change the status quo by perfecting the charging of batteries through sunlight. Several modern and traditional methods explain this process accurately. The application and innovation remain to extend the traditional means, such as the use of lenses to diffuse light and make fire of palm leaves. We do not call for burning the woods, but rather we demand to prevent cutting to live on it, but we demand to preserve it and live under its shade. We hope to bequeath to the light to our children, so we sow in their life. This can be done by imposing green energy on education. Environmental awareness is very crucial in the process. Schools and universities hold the grounds for the kick-off. This research links technology, environment, and education. A literature review provided centered on environmental change to raise the awareness of youngsters. The finding of this research concludes that there is a lack of environmental change topics in education systems in the Arab World. Seventy universities from the Middle East websites were visited. Bachelor of Science Programs in the environment were looked at. Climate Change is not categorized as a priority in universities’ curricula across the Arab World. This can be achieved through opening a wide range of programs in the environmental Sciences. Simply, environmental awareness requires more attention in the region.

A study conducted by NASA states that the average surface temperature of the earth’s global temperature is in 2020, tied with 2016 as the hottest years on record. Shrinkage of sea ice and ice sheet mass, sea-level rise, longer and more intense heatwaves, and shifts in plant and animal habitats are considered phenomena because of rising temperatures [1]. Since the 1880s, the earth’s average temperature has increased by more than 1.1 degrees Celsius [2]. The year 2020 is the hottest on record [1]. Bahrain is considered an arid country with short, mild winters and long, hot summers, with high humidity all over the year. There are negligible rainfall seasons from April to the end of October. Bahrain is endangered by natural disasters such as frequent dust storms, heatwaves, and sea- level rise [3]. In addition, 35% of Bahrain’s population is under 25 years of age [4]. The majority of knowledge seekers are youngsters. Climate change education as an adaption and mitigation purpose has an extreme influence on awareness [5]. Being aware of climate change influences climate behaviour [6]. Therefore, education is considered crucial for raising environmental awareness amongst new learners. The environment has been changing faster than almost any other time since humans were on earth. As a result, there is a need for people to study the environment and ensure it is healthy for all creatures, no matter where they live [7]. In this context, Lindsay, 2020 focuses on some interesting environmental science topics, such as (CC) and its effects on everyone, as well as developing renewable energy technologies, such as solar, wind, and hydro energy. Wind energy, for example, which can transform the power of an inexhaustible resource into electricity, could be a way to obtain a healthy environment [8]. Cultivating environmental awareness in schools is crucial. Schools have a responsibility towards future leaders, not just teaching them how to read and write but also educating them about environmental awareness. Schools must lead the conversation. Jesse Maleficio, 2018 points out a few ideas on how to cultivate environmental awareness in schools. Environmental awareness should be a part of the curriculum in all schools. This will encourage young people to engage in their environment to protect it and can help communities become more environmentally aware [9]. Introducing the 3 R’s is important to Reduce waste, Reuse resources, and Recycle materials. Teachers can influence students using the following activities: organizing tree planting days at school and telling them why trees are important to the environment, encouraging children to switch off all appliances and lights when not in use, ensuring taps are closed properly after they have been used and, using water sparingly [10]. In addition, she discusses how teachers can lead by example. Most people remember things that people did more than what they said [10]. Teaching students what it means to be environmentally aware is important, and it will have a more lasting impact if teachers can lead by example. For instance, the advice that must be given to teachers is that when you see litter, pick it up even if it’s not yours. Those little eyes might be watching you. Another idea for teachers is to start a recycling system in the classroom and show the children how to use it to recycle their things [10].
