Postage Stamp on “Sustainable Energy for All” |
| |
| There is no life without energy which is a basic need of human being. Energy is an important aspect in all the basic human activities; economic and social. During the post-industrial revolution era, the entire world switched to her main energy sources to non-renewable sources such as oil based fuels and coal. Renewable energy sources such as hydro power, wind, solar and biomasses are also among the energy sources but could not compete with non-renewable sources. After many years of using oil, the entire world has now realized that it is not sustainable to continue to use oil or coal. The environmental pollution and dwindling sources of oil and coal have created a huge challenge for humankind to deal with. Increasing environment hazards due to pollution and increasing cost of non-renewable sources have put extra pressure on countries without oil and coal sources such as Sri Lanka. Moreover, now it is found that the frequent and intensified natural disasters faced by countries such as Sri Lanka is also due to air pollution by burning fuel and coal. The time has come to switch to environmental friendly sustainable energy sources to sustain the development and existence of human in the world. |

| Sri Lanka is a rich country with sustainable renewable energy sources and has recognized the importance of it. To create awareness and emphasize the importance on sustainable energy among the public, Ministry of Postal Services has decided to issue a postage stamp on the theme ’Sustainable Energy for All’. A competition has been organized for school students to design the first day cover of this postage stamp. This is organized in collaboration with Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority and Practical Action – Janathakshan. The competition is open for students between the ages of 14 to 18 years.
