ALL IT TAKES IS VISION AND A LITTLE HARD WORK.ON SUGGESTION I WOULD TAKE THE WOOD SCRAPS NOT USED IN PROJECTS TO BE GROUND UP AND USED TO MAKE WOOD PELLETS FOR FUEL ALSO. I KNOW WE HAVE AT LEAST ONE PLANT THAT DOES THAT IN THE U.S. I WISH WE HAD A LOT MORE.ANYTHING TO STOP DEPENDING ON OTHER COUNTRIES FOR FUEL OF ANY KIND.

this should be the start of a world wide proto type that can be implemented everywhere to a greater or lesser degree. Spread the word, take it to your town, city, county, state govt, and write your congresspersons !!

They have done a good job at leading by example. Lets hope other people can follow that example.

Wow this is great!!!! At least they are using the land for the benefit of not only themselves, but as a very green model for the rest of us to aspire to. Very great stewards of the land I think better than the previous tenets in comparison.

Nice work. If only the same sorts of things could happen in the Arab's share of the former state of Palastine.

I wish Doron Sapir and Isreal would recycle the rest of the middle east and turn it into a park as well, starting with Iraq and Iran.

Good luck. There is no such thing as occupied Palestine only Israel as in ancient times.

To "allah akbar": why don't arabs of the Western Palestine do something like that? Because they are too busy killing innocent civilians of Sderot... Because they don't need the statehood: too much work taking care of citizens...

I believe it should be a Park for Peace. Though the conflict of land and ownership persists, if 2,000 acres can represent an attempt at Palestinian and Israeli's peaceful coexistence it could be a start to a better future. Further, it would be nice for the land on which it sits be left as land owned by all. The Native American's who prior to European invasion believed land ownership was as absurd as owning the air we breathe had the right idea.

Shalom To Israel.. Israel is at the forefront of innovation and promoting a technology that can help save our world as we know it. Lets pray that Israel can become the technological mecca of the world and not an Palestinian warzone... If the Palestinians had this land, all you would have are garbage piles like in their own countries, not garbage recycling and energy producing stations. My prayers for my people.. Keep up the good work.

I guess this will be a lesson for especially, those of us in the third world. This is a God's work. Nothing pleases God than for one to make something out of nothing.

Israel has been doing a lot of ""green" development in such things as alternative fuel, including solar adn wind, plus dry-area agriculture adn water conservation WHICH the country has exported this knnowledge to otherwise underserviced areas, such as those in Africa.

This park is built over the graves of innocent Palestinian citizen's and the world is being told a lie that it is over a garbage dump

It's fitting that a war criminal like Ariel Sharon should have a permanent memorial in the form of a garbage dump

The comment regarding occupied Palestine misses the point. It is an effort to save the earth, no matter who ends up living there. If we are to save our planet we must see past our own personal prejudice.

San franciscos ecycling is simple and state of the art. Over 80 percent....!!!! Check central Florida for vegetable waste. Brilliant in a country that needs the dark soil. Amazing work though. No doubt a pinnacle of the globe. Why aren't we taking the steps as mandaye? Love & repect.... Jon

Interesting that the arabs are complaining about land that they themselves will not do anything about but, wait until the Israelies have cleaned it up. Then the arabs will start suicide bombings again until the reclaimed land is turned over to them. After the arabs have it in their hands it will again be reduced to desert because that is the way that they live.

THE ARIEL SHARON PARK,PROMOTED BY OLMERT&PEREZ IS ANOTHER UTOPY

In the 1990s, utopians such as Shimon Peres

> now Israel's president, hailed a "new Middle East

> of economic and political cooperation. When Peres and Israel's late

> prime minister Yitzhak Rabin

> installed Yasser Arafat

> as the head of a Palestinian proto-state, they began another

> doomed Jewish political experiment -- making Israel, as best I can

> figure, the first country in the world ever to arm its enemy in hopes

> of gaining security.

That site....was an orange grove until citizens of Tel-Aviv started dumping there....for years they could not find the means to clean it , the cost of moving it was too high , so...we take a dump...call it a park and forget its true origin. it was an orange grove , its owners were forced off it and probably living in some refugee camp in a foreign land still hoping that one day they will get it back, clean it up and grow oranges again , in the meantime they are probably thankful it did become a befitting and symbolic namesake to its new occupants . In addition , it would have still been used as a dump had it not become a danger to the incoming air traffic.This is hardly a model of anything proper , it is an expropriated piece of occupied orange grove land turned into a garbage dump and dressed to be a park....what will they use for tree scent??...the little pine tree shaped air refresheners they find??...imaging a family outing....smelling all that fresh methane......how delightfull......Sharon still poisons...even in his sleep !

They should remove the political name and rename it "The Peace Park" then challenge Arab nations to do the same.

I salute your ingenuity of turning waste into something useful to all. How I wish this could be done also in Nigeria where waste has become a problem on the streets. Bravo !!!
