Citizens for the Environment

Citizens for the Environment (CFE) was established in 1990 as a social/environmental NGO that works to protect Israel's environment so as to ensure public health and welfare. We are led by a group of concerned Jewish and Arab citizens that champion public awareness of deleterious practices which cause far-reaching harm to Israel's environment, to the detriment of human health and wellness. We bring the environment and public health to the fore of government policy on the national and municipal level. CFE has succeeded in shifting the environmental policies of many industrialplants and has gone as far as creating legislation to enforce environmental protection. In 2013, The Leo Baeck School in Haifa awarded CFE the prestigious “Tikun Olam” prize. Public support of our activities climbs daily through social media, and the scope of our activities grows steadily each year.
