Ideas for activities in the field – My Family and I

First, we will measure our own ecological footprint - a questionnaire by the

Heschel Center. We check ourselves out: what do we really need?

• We will try to buy only what we really need, and if possible, to encourage
a local economy (rather than online overseas).

• We will check whether we use disposable utensils. And if so, why. What
are the alternatives?

• We will try to buy at secondhand stores.

• We will reduce the use of plastic bags and switch to using reusable bags.

• We will separate waste so that it is transferred for recycling: paper,
plastic, glass, clothing, electrical appliances and more.

Ideas for activities in the field – My ICL Unit and I

First and foremost, we will think: does our activity at the workplace have
an environmental impact? And if so, what can we do to reduce it? Who can
partner with me in the process at work?

• Reduction of waste production by correct purchasing and sustainable
consumption.

• Donating appliances, computers and equipment that is not in use to the
needy / NGOs or to recycling companies.

• Examining the use of disposable utensils at the workplace and advancing

public information and activity to switch to using reusable utensils.

• Organization of a bartering market for reuse of consumer goods.
