TAEQ’s goal is to raise awareness of environmental hazards, and to empower citizens to speak up for their environmental rights. At the same time, TAEQ provides a bridge-building framework for co-existence, in which environmentally conscious Arabs and Jews can work together for a common goal. Some recent activities include:
- Weekend clean-ups of polluted streams and public spaces, open to the general public – old and young, Jews and Arabs.
- The creation of a public park in the Misgav region, built on the site of a waste pit restored to its natural state by TAEQ volunteers.
- In the neighboring (Jewish) regional council of Misgav, TAEQ removed hundreds of tons of garbage from the Hilazon stream leading to the Sakhnin valley. A path that serves as a promenade and a bicycle trail was paved in the restored stream and now serves the residents of the two neighboring councils.
