History

Green Prophet was founded in 2008 by Karin Kloosterman, an environmental activist from Canada, who moved to the Middle East. At first the website focused on environmental news from Israel. 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, oil independence, science and health. Over the years Karin reports being one of the "biggest friends to the enemy states", because she works from Israel, a society with freedom of speech, 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.
