A new camp in Iceland will commence on July 6th 2007 (location to be announced later).

SUMMER OF INTERNATIONAL DISSENT AGAINST HEAVY INDUSTRY - GATHERING STARTS 6 JULY 2007

The campaign to defend Europe's vastest remaining wilderness continues. After the direct action camps in Iceland in the summers of 2005 and 2006 against the Karahnjukar dam and ALCOA's aluminium smelter, the Saving Iceland campaign moves on to bring industrialisation of Iceland to a halt. A new camp in Iceland will commence on July 6th 2007 (location to be announced later). New plans for dams, power plants, smelters and other heavy industry need to be stopped. Targets include corporates such as ALCOA, ALCAN, Century Aluminium, Hydro, Rusal, Bechtel, Barclays, Mott McDonal etc.. Iceland, with it's vast geothermal and megahydro possibilities, is a new frontier for energy craving industrial moguls, in times of increasing energy scarcity and insecurity. Stopping industrialisation and ecological destruction of the last unspoilt country in the west would be a major strategic victory for the green and anarchist movements and a new incentive for a global movement against industrialisation and ecocide. This includes the campaign against ALCOA and AluTrint's plans for a smelter in Trinidad and the campaign against ALCAN in India.
