American aluminium companies buy up all the CO2 emission quota so that they can set up factories in Iceland. In order to power the fabrics they need to sink large parts of Iceland, producing energy with water turbines.Beautiful landscapes change from vivid rocks to sand-colored man-made lakes. Birds loose their homes and nests and reindeers drown.
50 people protest.
The government of the People's Republic of China continues to reign over Tibet, despite the clear will of the Tibetans to be independent.Monks, who were demonstrating in a quiet and non-violent manner, were and are being killed, whilst the Chinese government refuses both media and human rights NGO's to enter Lhasa and other areas in order to make sure that no-one's civil rights are being broken.
40 people protest.
Gas prices around the world are getting higher, due to rising prices of crude oil and inflation. The price in Iceland per litre of gasoline is currently €1.21. In Europe it's around €1.45.An Icelandic family of 5 has 4 cars and therefore has a high price to pay now that the price of gasoline is this high. No more Rúnturinn. Children have to hitch a ride to school with their parents or even worse: take the bus! "Out-door-loving" Icelanders that drive those fabulous 4x4 jeeps cannot any longer cruise the vulnerable nature with their moss-massacre tyres. They have to turn their lives to a more affordable lifestyles, picking up cheap hobbies like people-watching or grass-growing.
Half the Icelandic nation protests, driving 200 cars in a demonstration, handing the head of Parliament a tyre with their message: Lower the levies -Now!

Nei sko, bara póletískt blogg og alles. Gott hjá þér.
Ég verð að viðurkenna að ég er ekki hrifin af svona stórum upphækkuðum 4x4 jeppum sem allir "útivistargúrúin" þurfa að eiga. Ég er bara mjög sátt við að forledrar mínir kæri um á Príus. Ég vona líka að framtíðar maðurinn minn verði ekki e-ð svona jeppanörd...
Ég vona að framtíðarmaðurinn þinn verði bara borgarstjóri og innleiði alvöru samgöngukerfi svo að enginn þurfi 4x4 jeppa til að krúsa niður Laugarveginn (nema þá kannski Landmannalaugaveginn...)
Dear Inga, I really like the picture of the fallen reindeer. i have recently made a series of textiles inspired by fossils and I think this would be a nice picture for my product shoot. Can I use your picture, ofcourse with due credits to you if you have taken the picture?
