Green Course- Israel's largest Environmental student organization, continued its activity at the height of power and energy.
Since the beginning of the academic year in which community organizers started their volunteering work, major and significant campaigns were chosen: *Prevent oil drilling in the Golan Heights. (Tel-Hai). Preventing the expansion of polluting industries in Haifa. (Oranim, Technion, Haifa University, Michmoret) * promoting food forests and sustainable cities. (Seminar HaKibbutzim Tel Aviv, Faculty of Agriculture in Rehovot) * Supervision of natural gas prices. (Tel Aviv University) * Stopping construction in the Jerusalem hills. (Hebrew University) * Sustainable Transport in Be'er Sheva and strengthening existing cities in the Negev. (BGU) * Protection of beaches. (Communal chapter).
Organizers were given theoretical training and together with the volunteers and the community made the campaign run in practice, and gain public and media echo such as the one in the Haifa bay air pollution.
Green Course has recieved the Presidential Volunteer Award in recognition of its accomplishments.
