—The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is concerned with
increasing the environmental awareness and securing a
sustainable, healthy environment. The country also aims to
encourage the role of women in this respect. In addition to being
a mother, educator and teacher, a woman can play a significant
role in securing safe and healthy environment. A woman can
also preserve the depleted natural resources through her wise
dealing of these resources available in homes, such as water and
energy. She can also educate children to use the resources of
nature efficiently. This study finds tendency and concern for
activating her role in preserving the environment and
motivating the young generations for this noble cause.
