” Therefore take great care that you do not damage and destroy my world, for if you do, there is no one to repair it after you. ”
Ecclesiastes, 7:13
ISRAEL HOME GUARDIANS – CITIZENS FOR CLEAN ENERGY
Israel Home Guardians (Shomrei Habayit in Hebrew) is a volunteer organization seeking cleaner energy production and enforcement. Our mission is driven by the understanding that safe energy is critical to a safer Israel and world. We are empowered by our determination to protect our home and future generations and by our numerous volunteers working tirelessly for change.
After fours years of facing the strongest forces of Israel’s economy and politics, our achievements have made IHG a household name and one of Israel’s most prominent citizen organizations in the fields of energy, the environment, and public health.
Select accomplishments include:
The Tamar rig operator was forced to invest $40 million in measures that reduced emissions by 98%
We’re launching the first independent air pollution monitor in Israel’s history
We established the Fossil Free Israel Forum, which has already divested millions to green funds
Our leaders now frequently attend parliament meetings on energy & the environment. Our goals include strengthening regulatory processes and the commitments pledged in Israel’s climate law
We helped influence the Ministry of Education to add an obligatory climate change program and remove science materials benefitting the fossil fuel industry
Chevron-Noble Energy was fined over 7 million NIS for emissions to air & sea

FOSSIL FUEL-BASED ENERGY PRODUCTION
This is not the future we want for ourselves and our children
“The government's decision to build a new network of private gas-fired power plants is inconsistent with current energy trends… negates Israel's international commitments on climate change … and creates a more vulnerable energy sector in the face of security risks.”

“The government's decision to build a new network of private gas-fired power plants is inconsistent with current energy trends… negates Israel's international commitments on climate change … and creates a more vulnerable energy sector in the face of security risks.”
Leaning on fossil fuels blinds the eyes of Israel’s decision-makers, preventing critical investments in environmental innovation. This approach is fundamentally misguided. Our startup nation features numerous companies tackling climate change – including renewable energy production and storage. Technological breakthroughs would place Israeli companies at the forefront of the international struggle to stabilize Earth’s climate.
Israel must invest in cleantech and quickly transition its economy to the large-scale use of clean energies, a strategy already pursued worldwide. Benefits – including environmental, health, security, and financial – would dramatically surpass the profits from fossil fuels.
