The Defense Ministry is launching an effort to make IDF bases more environmentally friendly, even with the mass increase in manpower and resource consumption due to the war.
The project, which involves cooperation between the Defense Ministry, Finance Ministry, Economy Ministry, and various plants, aims to save money by reusing raw materials and ostensible waste which would otherwise be transported to landfill sites.
The effort is projected to save the country some 20 million NIS a year, as well as avoid causing more ecological damage.
