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.
Human’s impact on the environment is visible in all aspects of our activity: energy production, transportation, development of cities. On the top of that, we produce overwhelming amount of waste. In particular, each of us throws away everyday used papers, food leftovers or unnecessary plastic packages. We wanted to make sure that they will not end up in the landfill.
The group of students in green team CAS are investigating an issue that hasn’t been discussed or mentioned since EMIS was born, the eyes of these students started to look around and they saw an awful fact that sometimes humans don’t recognize the existence of it. Therefore, they are now investigating this issue.
