After a trip to Israel an internal understanding of how much Ukraine needs to learn from the Israeli experience each time becomes strong.

And people surprise to the upside who confidently raise their own country and are eager to share the experience with the Ukrainians. This is not a pity for them, on the contrary, they will gladly tell and prompt.

On behalf of the Honorary Consulate of Israel I would like to thank colleagues and representatives of the Israeli side for a productive visit and cooperation. The Ukrainian deputies were able to see everything personally, to see the customs, sea port, municipality, tax agency. I am sure that this experience will definitely help in the process of reformation in our country.

And today I want to tell you (for comparison) about a new environmental initiative, which was presented to the Knesset last week. The project "It's - my Earth" in the Israeli parliament was presented by the Israeli leaders of the environmental community, as well as the actors, poets, activists and parliamentarians. Like a hundred years ago, the Israelis are calling just to buy the land, which are on the brink of the ecological disaster. But if a century ago the lands were bought to build the life of the people of Eretz Yisrael, and now - to save the animals and plants.

The project offers on the base of crowdsourcing (when a large number of people are involved in a common affair who communicate with each other virtually) to associate with the global community and invites people to choose and buy a piece of land which is under the threat of ecological disaster place. It allows each resident to reduce the harm to ecosystems and to bring a contribution into the saving of the planet. The organizers want to attract the maximum number of participants into the project – the modern means of communication very well allow it. At the same time the authors of the idea coordinate their actions with the world's leading experts on environmental protection.

Now, actually, the comparison. According to the journalists of the Western regions of Ukraine, the region's daily output about 150 timber wagons. In support of my words - the bright picture of the state of the Ukrainian Carpathians.
