General Information
Eretz Carmel, a non-profit, non-political, grass roots organization, was established in July 2006 by Amiad Lapidot a former officer in the IDF whose vision for a sustainable future in Israel inspired him to leave the armed forces and follow a different path.
Mission and Objectives

Eretz Carmel has already established models of sustainability, using practical and easily adaptable methods, in the Carmel Coast region, aims to expand these models throughout the country, and is actively promoting the revival of the environment. The ultimate goal, to preserve and improve our quality of life and to ensure that future generation will have a better future.

Main Projects / Activities

For phase one of our operation we chose the "treatment" of household garbage. As every family and individual produces garbage, the entire local community can easily become involved in this project.
Organic garbage constitutes approximately half of all household garbage. Therefore, when we "treat" the organic garbage, there are immediate results that have a meaningful impact on the environment - significantly reducing greenhouse gases, pests, Tstefim, fires, foul smells etc., which are characteristic of untreated garbage.
