NU stuff and more!


"Made in Israel"- a t-shirt and video campaign by Israel21c and NU Campaign - celebrates Israeli inventions and technologies that are shaping our world today! A considerable amount of research went into this design, which showcases over 50 Israeli inventions (excluding hundreds) and we were blown away by the number of globaly recognizable brands there were. The big ones for us were the cell-phone, laptop computer, Microsoft Windows, Voip and internet Firewall technologies, which have revolutionized the way we live, and companies like icq, AOL, Answers.com, Babylon and Amdocs that were founded in Israel. We were amazed at the 'Drip-Irrigation' system that has made farming in Israel possible (Israel is 60% desert) and now allows farmers in underdeveloped countries to maximize water-supply for agricultural purposes and the invention of Pill-Cam, a camera sized pill which allows doctors to track digestive processes in patients and thus save lives. 'Made in Israel' is a curriculum on Israeli innovation, which goes to show that in Israel, a tiny country no bigger than the State of New Jersey, the greatest natural resource is the human brain!

We think that the Dead Sea ROCKS!

 
Unfortunately, the Dead Sea and its surrounding environment have been extremely compromised. Without a change in current policies, the future looks even grimmer.  Sea level has been dropping by nearly one meter per year due to water diversions upstream and due to mineral extraction industries. 
 
Consequences thus far include loss of one-third of the Sea’s natural surface area and much coastline, the drying up of nearby natural springs that support wildlife, and the development of hundreds of sinkholes – areas of severe land subsidence resulting from drops in the groundwater table – which have damaged infrastructure, limited economic development opportunities, and destroyed natural habitat. 
 
We at NU Campaign say Enough is Enough! We call on you to HELP make a difference! Everytime you wear your 'Salt Rocks' t-shirt you get to advocate for the preservation of the Dead Sea! Through small actions, we CAN make CHANGE!

 


NU founder and director David Kramer presents NU Campaign to a distinguished group of business leaders, brought to Israel by the Jewish Federation of Washington DC. The meeting was arranged by the PresenTense Group and aimed to connect them to examples of social innovation in Israel. 




Yep! It’s Birthright season! NU Campaign has met with over 1,000 Birthright participants in the last 2 weeks.  NU presentations are a combination of story telling, featured causes and multi--media that expose participants to a different narrative of Israel. They focus on the human energy and spirit of Israel, a country, which has over 26,000 non-profit organizations (more than any other country in the world per capita) in the fields of humanities, environment, charity, technology, culture, protection of animals and lots more!
