History
Green Prophet was founded in 2008 by Karin Kloosterman, an environmental activist from Canada, who moved to the Middle East.[5] At first the website focused on environmental news from Israel.[6] Shortly thereafter it began to publish news and feature articles about environmental topics throughout the Middle East, including eco-faith, solar and wind energy, organic living, sustainable housing,[7] oil independence, science and health. Over the years Karin reports being one of the "biggest friends to the enemy states",[8] because she works from Israel, a society with freedom of speech for Zionists only,[9] she is able to write about the atrocities reported to her secretly from people in Iran, Iraq, Egypt, who might "disappear" for social, environmental action.
Green Prophet followed a social experiment in electricity use Masdar City in Abu Dhabi in 2010.[10]
