This Israeli environmental activist makes taking care of Mount Carmel in northern Israel her top priority.

Mount Carmel in Israel’s north boasts some of the most beautiful nature-filled trails and stunning views.

Israeli activist Ruth Shefer, also known as the “Grandmother of Mount Carmel,” makes sure the environment in this popular tourist attraction remains pristine.

For the last 20 years, Ruth has gotten up every morning to pick up garbage left by visitors, taking environmental protection into her own hands.
