Arms manufacturer and aluminium giant ALCOA have said they will announce on 1 March if they will press for yet another aluminium smelter in the north of Iceland, probably near the town of Husavik.
THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN!
THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN!
Just one of many species threatened by Karahnjukar dams - 3rd of the populat
ALCOA have already got the incarnation of corporate evil, Bechtel, building a 320.000 tn smelter in the east of Iceland. The project entails devastating the highlands near Karahnjukar, the last great pristine wilderness of Europe, to dam two major glacial rivers for bogus "green" energy to drive the smelter in Reydarfjordur.
Iceland is the only country in Europe which has relatively escaped the destruction of heavy industry, pollution and deadly infrastructure that other countries have been wrecked with.
The National Power Company plans to begin filling the dams at Karahnjukar in September this year. This apocalypse of rare and endangered animal life, volcanic landscape and sub-arctic vegetation must NEVER be allowed to become reality!
The Icelandic opposition to this corporate take over of their country desperately need help from the international community.
An international protest camp has been called for this summer by Friends of Iceland and Saving Iceland. The camp will be near Karahnjukar, just like last years protest camp. It starts 21 July and will be host to lots of activism, cultural/artistic events and concerts by both world famous and not so famous bands.
THE ICELANDIC DRAGON OF FLOWERS AND ICE MUST BE SAVED!
