DearThis year, The friends, Council for a Beautiful Israel’s esteemed Yakir Award was conferred upon two Israeli and two Swiss, highly distinguished people. The awards ceremony at the President’s residence was an especially emotional and memorable event for the recipients, their families and friends in attendance. We honor and cherish our devoted friends, and are grateful for their continuous dedicated efforts to make CBI's vision a perpetual reality. With the alarming increase of global warming effects, The Council for a Beautiful Israel's mission is rising to the forefront of the public agenda. We are enjoying a stronger than ever affiliation with supporting friends both in Israel and abroad. This year our British and French friends are diligent and dedicated partners. We have also initiated activity in Geneva. The Paris dinner was a ”talk of the town” event and we hope to see similar successful events in London and in Geneva. The recent discovery of enormous gas reservoirs within Israel's territorial waters is a significant finding that may have far-reaching impacts in Israel. In light of these findings, the importance of decreasing harmful carbon monoxide gas emissions and of substantially curbing the use of heavy fuels is becoming more and more apparent. Accordingly, CBI has made a breakthrough into the corporate sector, and has managed to initiate an environmental education pilot with Israel Chemicals Ltd. Inspired by our mission of safeguarding the environment and instilling behavioral changes deemed crucial, this pilot may pave the way to additional collaborations. Israel, like every other place on the planet, is not immune to global warming. In the last seven years we have been experiencing continuous drought. The recent forest fire in the Carmel Mountain is a reminder of the devastating effects of such conditions. In view of this troubling phenomenon and in line with our teachings, we have prepared a unique study program calling upon the public to assume personal responsibility and involvement. Furthermore, we have assembled an exhibit of rare photographs from the Carmel fire for display and purchase. The first event will take place at CBI's Center in . Thereafter the exhibit will travel to Paris, London and New York. All proceeds will go towards related educational ventures. As CBI continues to expand its scope of operations, we depend more and more on you, dear friends. We certainly couldn’t do it all without your support. You, our friends in need – are our friends indeed!

This mobile unit for environmental education is serving the periphery. Thanks to this special unit, the pupils in the Negev, primarily in Kiryat Mal'achi, Ashkelon Municipal Region, are already benefitting from CBI's educational programs. the Green Ambulance fosters equal educational opportunities and allows the students in this region to benefit from CBI’s programs in the same way that their peers in the central part of Israel, with access to the Center for Environmental Studies in Tel Aviv can.

One of the most popular programs being extended by the mobile unit is a program about water conservation and waste management designed for kindergarteners through third graders. More complex programs about urban issues are offered to pupils in middle schools.

THE MAGI FOUNDATION We thank the Magi Foundation for supporting CBI's edducational programs in the Negev.

13 GLOBAL WARMING, ISRAEL AND CBI Ecological Footprints A fierce fire that took dozens of lives and millions of trees in the beautiful green mountains of the Carmel serves as a signal to take real measures and instill behavioral changes. A month ago, CBI held a panel that discussed this subject, with the aim of addressing related critical issues. Preventative measures are as important as tending, replanting and refurbishing Israel’s forestry. CBI is preparing a special study program to promote the desired changes in citizens’ relationship and interaction with their environment.

ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT IS MY FOOT 4 OR 9 TIMES THE SIZE OF MY SHOE? Man’s ever-increasing rate of consumption of the Earth’s resources is endangering the planet’s sustainability for future generations.. The ecological footprint is a measure of human demand on the Earth’s ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth’s ecological capacity to regenerate. The ecological footprint assessment already shows 4.8 for Israel and 8.7 for the US. If everyone lived the lifestyle of the average American we would need 5 planets. But we have only one!! The solution lies in changing consumer behavior by promoting a decrease in over-purchasing and a focus on rational needs.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Use less plastic products, and in particular disposable ones. Reuse products, especially bags Recycle as much as possible Demand biodegradable plastic products

CBI IS PUSHING FOR SPECIAL LABELING OF BIODEGRADABLE COMPOSTABLE PRODUCTS Following CBI's successful campaign ”Use One Plastic Bag Less” last year, we are involved in promoting a bill for the standardization of biodegradable compostable plastic. In order to solve the confusion of identifying biodegradable, compostable plastic products versus those produced by different technologies and that are not compostable, The Council for a Beautiful Israel has decided to push forward an initiative for a new label to be affixed on plastic products that are compostable (similar labels already exist in Europe).

CBI announced its commitment to continue the dialogue with influential media personalities in the aim of reinforcing the media’s role as an active tool for change.

15 CBI’S INTERNATIONAL ALBUM 2010-PORTRAITS OF CULTURE CBI’s international album is one way of spreading our message throughout the world. This year’s album enjoins us to look at Israel with new eyes. The “eyes” that reflect our young nation this year are tinted by the prism of culture and serve to showcase Israel’s extraordinary achievements in the Arts. We were fortunate to have two gifted photographers help us open a window to the world and offer stirring portraits of Israeli culture encompassing music, theatre, dance, and film. The album was extremely well accepted in Israel, Europe and the US.

CBI JOINS NATIONAL CAMPAIGN FOR A “MINE-FREE ISRAEL” CBI joined The Coalition for a Mine-Free Israel and “Roots of Peace” campaign, calling upon the government to issue a law to dismantle and clean up about 200,000 dunam (50, 000 acres) of valuable land, a vital resource. The outcry was prompted by a tragic accident in which an 11 year old boy lost his leg in an unmarked mine field in the Golan - an area that is frequented by hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. The incident awakened awareness to the predicament of mines that have been, over the years, washed away by rains and mud slides onto main routes and pathways. These fields are located near the Sea of Galilee, along the Arava, and even near Park Canada en route to Jerusalem. CBI created large banners to indicate mine sites that can be transformed into green fields. Mine fields in a region most frequented by citizens and tourists
