Mission
The Green Zionist Alliance, a North America-based 501(c)3 nonprofit, offers a place for all Jews — regardless of political or religious affiliation — who care about humanity's responsibility to preserve the Earth and the special responsibility of the Jewish people to preserve the ecology of Israel. We work to educate and mobilize Jews around the world for Israel’s environment; to protect Israel's environment and support its environmental movement; to improve environmental practices within the World Zionist Organization and its constituent agencies; and to inspire people to work for positive change.
By focusing on the environment while working from a pluralistic and multicultural base, the Green Zionist Alliance seeks to bridge the differences between and within religions and people — helping to build a peaceful and sustainable future for Israel and the Middle East.

Green Zionist Alliance: The Grassroots Campaign for a Sustainable Israel
Nestled in the Arava Valley, in between Israel’s Eilat Mountains and the Edomite Mountains of Jordan, a tragedy and a victory sit side by side. Part of Samar — a square-mile patch of sand dunes home to scores of animals, some near extinction — has been stripped of its sand in order to make concrete. But next to the wasteland, a victory: More than two-thirds of Samar has been saved, due to the efforts of the Green Zionist Alliance and its partner organizations in Israel. http://www.greenzionism.org/greenisrael/samar/224
Evonne, in answer to your question about Samar: There was a large protest at the dunes, with press coverage, arrests and people forming human barricades in front of bulldozers. It was quite a demonstration; sadly, the mining began anyway. More details in the Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com/Sci-Tech/Article.aspx?id=251318
