FIELDS OF SIZZILING PLASTIC...

Israeli *moshav, Ein Yahav, is using the sun as a natural substitute for pesticides. A veritable sea of plastic can now be seen in the hot Arava region of Israel, as the moshav fields are covered with more than 6 million meters (20 million feet) of plastic, in order to use the power of the sun to raise the surface temperatures below the plastic to as much as 55 degrees Celsius (131 Fahrenheit).The cliché, “the sun is the best natural antiseptic" is finding a reality in Israel. (*a farm)
