While the state of Israel is still young, so are its environmental regulations. It's a small country, and it's getting over-developed and polluted FAST. Please keep up on what's going on with Israel's environment, and pass it on to others.

Or do you have info to share about environmental goings-on in Israel? or Jewish-environmental goings-on in the Galut? (hehehe)

Excellent. Let's go hiking.

But first, join one of these wonderful organizations, both are along the lines of the Sierra Club (they lobby gov't, research ecological disasters, and organize hiking trips + A WHOLE LOT MORE)

Israel's environmental groups are seriously struggling, mostly bc they don't have the name recognition - North Americans haven't heard of them and don't realize the many serious Israeli ecological crises. Please donate, join, and spread the word.
