According to State Information Service Egypt, Abdel Ghaffar, during a phone interview on the program 'This Morning' on Extra News, highlighted that the initiative relies on direct engagement and various digital awareness tools. It also seeks to activate the roles of student unions and families, as well as organize intercollegiate competitions to promote responsible energy consumption behaviors.

He emphasized that the campaign aspires to bring about a behavioral change among students, encouraging each individual to become an active participant in fostering a culture of energy conservation within their families and social circles.
