Our friends Saving Iceland begin their month long action camp today. We wish them all the best in their effort to stop heavy industry in the wilds of Iceland. Down with heavy industry! Last year we were lucky to be there for about ten days fighting a master plan that could bring as many as thirty large dams and toxic aluminum smelters to Iceland over the next 15 years. I love these people. They have alot of local and international support but do experience a fair amount of resistance from some of their country people, which makes for hard going in a nation of just 300,000. Iceland is one of the most magical places I have ever been but even if it weren’t this struggle would be worthwhile. Not only is the aluminum industry destroying habitat all over the world they are wasting precious resources on aluminum production which is used primarily for weapons and military aircraft.

In our church we believe that Americans are stopping their shopping now. The commercial media calls it a loss of consumer confidence - we call it Divine Revelation! Change-a-lujah!
