Initiatives Today
Shomera aims to inspire others and to set an example as an
environmental leader who facilitates the generation of an impact far
greater than its own size would suggest – an impact achieved through
the fruitful collaboration between all parties involved on each of
Shomera's
initiatives.
In our early years, our projects, which were implemented in the
greater Jerusalem metropolitan area, achieved national impact due to
their visionary nature. Today, Shomera's focus
is on initiatives with
national and international influence.
By creating
sustainability projects and alliances with academia,
government and green businesses, Shomera is on its way to
implementing groundbreaking replicable models. Among Shomera’s
current initiatives:
Mainstreaming
Greywater Recycling in Israel
-- "The Greywater Recycling Initative"
Promoting Sustainable Cities
Together with "Green Oriented" Israeli Businesss
And,
of course, we haven’t forgotten our noble and local
beginnings.
Preserving the
Jerusalem Forest.
