Saving Iceland Closes Nature Killer’s Offices

July 28 2009
Last night Sav­ing Ice­land closed the offices of com­pa­nies and insti­tu­tions that are heav­i­ly respon­si­ble for extreme destruc­tion of nature. Super-glue was put in to the locks and signs put up say­ing: “Closed because of destruc­tion of nature!” Lock­smiths had to be called to open the doors when work­ers showed up in the morn­ing.

Last night Sav­ing Ice­land closed the offices of com­pa­nies and insti­tu­tions that are heav­i­ly respon­si­ble for extreme destruc­tion of nature. Super-glue was put in to the locks and signs put up say­ing: “Closed because of destruc­tion of nature!” Lock­smiths had to be called to open the doors when work­ers showed up in the morn­ing.

The com­pa­nies and insti­tu­tions that were tar­get­ed have all shown their deter­mined crim­i­nal will against Ice­landic nature and don’t stop at any­thing in their search for an easy finan­cial growth and favor­able con­tracts, even with com­pa­nies who have scan­dalous his­to­ry. These com­pa­nies should have been closed long time ago to pre­vent more destruc­tion to take place.

The fol­low­ing com­pa­nies and insti­tu­tions were tar­get­ed: the Min­istry of Indus­try and the Min­istry of Envi­ron­ment, who have cleared the way for heavy indus­try here in Ice­land; ÍSTAK (con­struc­tion com­pa­ny), which takes care of most of the earth destruc­tion that has to take place before test drills and the con­struc­tion of heavy indus­try relat­ed build­ings; Jarðb­o­ranir (Earth Drilling), which owns the drills that are used for geot­her­mal drilling all over the coun­try; and HRV (engi­neer­ing com­pa­ny), which does most of the Envi­ron­men­tal Impact Assess­ments for heavy indus­try projects as well as tak­ing a big part in design­ing the infra­struc­tures con­nect­ed to heavy indus­try.

Sav­ing Ice­land also closed an office shed on one of ÍAV’s (con­struc­tion com­pa­ny) con­struc­tion areas in Reyk­javík, but the com­pa­ny is now busy with build­ing Century’s alu­mini­um smelter in Hel­gu­vík.
