Sustainability Council talks with Tel Aviv City Councilman

On Monday, a few members of the Student Council Sustainability Committee had the pleasure of sitting down with Etai Pinkas for an hour. Pinkas serves as a Tel Aviv City Councilman. He had served as board chairman for the Dan Region Association of Towns for Environmental Issues & Sewage. ​

While talking with students, Pinkas covered plenty of the areas he has experience in-- including motivating the populous to accept environmentally motivated initiatives, working within a governmental structure to bring big picture issues to the forefront, and utilizing divesture to achieve environmental goals. The topics were applicable not only to Israel, but also to America and the entire world. The opportunity to hear from the man voted one of Israel's 100 Most Influential People on his work and passion was truly remarkable.
