Did you know that:
-Israel is the only country in the world with a net GAIN in the
number of trees?
- Israel is the global leader in the field of solar energy. 1980- Knesset passed a law requiring solar water heating systems in new private homes. Israel is now first in the world in the use of solar energy per capita (3% of the primary national energy consumption).
-As a country with scarce water resources, Israel has developed various water-saving technologies, among them drip irrigation, patented in 1956. At the Global Water Awards ceremony in Dubai in March 2006, an Israeli desalination plant won the top prize. (whoa, Dubai huh? Does this mean science can one day maybe make peace?).
