Earth Day in Jerusalem

.

Happy Earth Day!  (if your country is still in April 22)

On Monday  I was fortunate to attend the first full day of the First International Jerusalem Symposium on Green & Accessible Pilgrimage.
"Leaving a positive footprint." 
Experts and good speakers from far corners of the world and from Israel. 

More about this wonderful conference in the coming days.

Lights off, candles on

Happy Earth Day!

Here in Israel 22 municipalities are right now turning off the lights for an hour, from 20.00 to 21.00, as a way to promote Earth Day thinking.

See how some of our IDF soldiers are contributing to a better environment:

Earth Day

HAPPY EARTH DAY.
A bit behind the rest of the world, Israel's cities and hopefully citizens will finally observe Earth Hour and turn off the lights from 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. tomorrow.
It's funny to see Israel at the top of our planet in this photo.
Now I can't stop singing the old song along with Al Jolson, "I'm sitting on top of the world,
just rolling along, just rolling along. I'm quitting the blues of the world, just singing a song, just singing a song. . . . "
