PictureMr. Sandor Szelekovszky,
Leigh Allison Kroeger interviews Sàndor Szelekovszky of the Delegation of the European Union to the State of Israel
Mr. Sandor Szelekovszky is currently the First Counsellor and Head of the Trade and Economic Section, of the EU delegation to Israel. The overall aim of the delegation is to enhance relations of the EU with Israel and specifically that of Mr. Szelekovszky’s section is to promote economic cooperation in areas such as trade, agriculture, energy, transport etc. He obtained his degree in International Relations at the University of Budapest, Hungary and is an official of the European Commission. He was posted as an EU diplomat to Israel more than three years ago. As an integral part of the anti-plastics strategy in Europe, he acknowledged that establishing the right regulatory framework and incentives as well as raising awareness were an important in reducing plastic litter and promoting sustainable consumption an production patterns. As for the efforts in Israel he feels that the focus should be on creating the necessary regulations. In addition, he recommended increasing incentive measures to encourage consumers shift their preferences, reduce plastic consumption, and lead a more sustainable life at home. Overall the fight against plastics is progressing, with the most promising EU legislation just released over December on an EU-wide ban on single-use plastics coming in to action in 2021. We thank Sandor for his continuing advocacy in this prescient conservation topic!

Does Israel suck? Not anymore! We use more than one million plastic straws EVERY DAY in Israel alone! But a new campaign called StrawFreeTLV or לא
שמים קשים has kickstarted the anti-plastic movement in Israel, inviting members of the public to #GoStrawFree and encouraging cafes, bars and restaurants to only provide straws on request. Find out more and see what you can do to help reduce plastic pollution of our beaches, and put an end to the plastic-straw addiction in Israel! In particular, we invite conservation practitioners and researchers to share your stories about straws, or plastic in general.
