This year, EMIS Project Week was focused on borders of Israel. After three days spent across the country, the Green Team went to the Arava to explore topic of sustainability in some of the most innovative kibbutzim in the country. First of them is kibbutz Lotan, which hosts the Eco-Campus and the Eco-Kef, and promotes permaculture.
Domestic use of electricity is an important factor in energy consumption worldwide. Especially in Israel and at EMIS, air conditioning takes tremendous amounts of energy. On top of of that, we all tend not to turn off the lights or unplug chargers. As Green Team, we decided to raise awareness about this problem and persuade students and staff members to change their habits.
Agriculture is one of the major contributors to global emissions of greenhouse gases and other types of pollution. Moreover, vast quantities of land are used for growing animals’ food and breeding them. Despite producing tremendous amount of food worldwide, the food crisis is present due to high rate of waste and uneven distribution of nutrition. There are many ways, in which one can decrease his environmental footprint related to food.
