Summer is the most popular time to hike, the Israeli national pastime. The conditions are just right for a good old Israeli hike. The sun is scorching, everyone else is doing it and the kids are out of school.
When hiking, be nice your our land! Too many times a beautiful hike is ruined because some lazy hiker decides that it is more convenient to leave the potato chip bag that they have just finished with on the path. Or worse! Lunch leftovers. Take one of the bags that you packed lunch with, collect all the trash, and tie it onto your backpack. Be nice to our land. Don’t let our land become a garbage country.

As far back as he can remember Jack Reichert has been interested in the environment. In the second grade, he rallied all of his classmates to donate one recess a week to cleaning up litter from the schoolyard. That was the same year that a city councilman asked him to help with his campaign because of the letter Jack had written asking him to clean up Boston Harbor. Ever since Jack has followed the development of the international green conscience with anticipation and hope that one day we will treat Mother Earth with the respect she deserves and not turn her into another Giving Tree.
