'Green Hanukkia' campaign sparks ire
By GIL HOFFMAN

In a campaign that has spread like wildfire across the Internet, a
group of Israeli environmentalists is encouraging Jews around the
world to light at least one less candle this Hanukka to help the
environment.

The founders of the Green Hanukkia campaign found that every candle
that burns completely produces 15 grams of carbon dioxide. If an
estimated one million Israeli households light for eight days, they
said, it would do significant damage to the atmosphere.

"The campaign calls for Jews around the world to save the last candle
and save the planet, so we won't need another miracle," said Liad
Ortar, the campaign's cofounder, who runs the Arkada environmental
consulting firm and the Ynet Web site's environmental forum. "Global
warming is a milestone in human evolution that requires us to rethink
how we live our lives, and one of the main paradigms of that is
religion and how it fits into the current situation."
