About Me

FOR THE OFFICIAL SAVING ICELAND CAMPAIGN, VISIT WWW.SAVINGICELAND.ORG
Iceland is being sold to heavy multinational industry for no gain to Iceland, involving numerous risks. Heavy industry is queuing up for cheap energy by using old polluting methods and free from paying Kyoto tax in this environmental paradise. If the existing plans are to be realised, 25% of Iceland will be a dam affected area and this region will be among the most polluted of Europe by 2020! Protest is growing in and outside Iceland. This summer an international protest camp was organised by and for Icelandic families towards activists, working for the same end. music events and guided walks were held in the beautiful area which was first on the list to be drowned in September 2006. Also this summer there will be a camp in Iceland, see blog entries for more information.
Anywhere you are, you can do something to help. Organise a benefit concert , write to people, donate , make a video , canoe to Iceland, any kind of action really.
