Join the Fight

Im a teacher and ive just made my third visit to iceland..this time bringing students on an environmental studies visit. It was incredible.....how sad that Iceland who would do better investing in environmental and eco tourism (would generate a huge income as this is underdeveloped) ....is preferrring to destroy its own best resources and this amazing wilderness. Im very interested in taking part this summer.;im amazed by the scale of the protests-wonderful how we can stand up together against this destruction.......any more details available?

I have just visited the Karahnjukar area and people are working on the flood damage repair, trying to save what they can. The area will be completely flooded soon and all the fauna will migrate. I'm sad for the animals that will not get the chance and will drown...

We will join this years protests.
When do they start?
We will book the Ferry
and plan our holidays.

We're in as well.

Activist group "klein verzet" is trying to come. (first need to save some money)

... in July and was taken aback by its beauty!

In a local coffee shop I found a post card titled "Iceland's Globalization...the annihilation of its great wilderness" and my heart sank. I am the art director for a national magazine in the United States and am currently writing a story for our November issue entitled "Saving Iceland" and would really love to do an interview with someone who is in charge of this organization. If someone could get back to me I would be so very grateful as I believe it what you are trying to do and want to get the word out here in my corner of the world. --Thanks!

.... so much and reading about all these plans that will destroy Icelandic nature hurts me deeply.

I shall take part in the protests this summer.

I was with you guys last year...I hope to be back in Iceland fighting with you again this Summer.

Had a run-in with the Egilsstadir cops last August and have some unfinished business with a certain American company called ALCOA...

Until I can join everyone out there in Iceland, keep up the good fight, we can't let them destroy what little untouched world we have left just so that someone can make money.

Our governments should be fighting alongside us, trying to defend what we should be preserving...everyone should be.

We won't let them win, we're strong and unwilling to give in and stand aside.

Until July, x

I am only an American teenager, but I will be there in the Summer to defend Iceland. ALCOA has no soul and must be stopped. I am sick and tired of the US and their raping of the last good things on earth for the power of a selfish dollar.

I make tshirts inspired by icelands nature and music. i want to help!

SAVE ICELAND!

so this looks as if I will go to Iceland again - this time not for my recreation but for saving Iceland's nature

...I cried when I saw pictures of Iceland for the first time, here on this site, would people really destroy such land? the magic, I can sense it, your land is to be preserved for whatever cost, and the gods of old shall guide you, take your pride, don't let them kill earth's teardrop, yours is the land, not theirs..

I'm Italian,
I'll be with you in summer 2006

Stand up for Iceland!

Wish I could help. I hate the Icelandic government. Greedy money grabbing apes!

Greetings from an Icelander...ashamed to be one when crimes like this are done in the name of the Icelandic people.

I wish that I could afford to come to Iceland for the camp - I believe strongly in preserving Iceland and hope sincerely that you are successful in your cause. I can't thank you enough for fighting this fight! Good luck!

It is a shame that some corrupt politicans can damage a huge part of Iceland. They lied to the people of Iceland, telling false facts und don´t care about the damage to the nature. The unspoiled nature of Iceland should be preserved.
The destroying of more parts from the Icelandic Highlands has to be stopped.
