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. By creating sustainability projects and alliances
with academia, government and green businesses, Shomera is on its
way to implementing groundbreaking replicable models.
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.
Shomera is further privileged
to contribute to urban sustainability through its active role in
various national and local forums, including: Life and
Environment Board of Directors, "The
Path to Sustainability Coalition"- of the Environmental
Movement; Directors
General Committee for Sustainable Development
("The Path to Sustainability Coalition" representative), The
"Water Coalition" of the Environmental Movement and as
the only environmental NGO accompanying the Chamber of Commerce
Greywater Recycling Unit.
