ICELAND ASSOCIATION OF ECO CONSUMERS
THE ASSOCIATION WEBSITE IS HERE (NOT IN ENGLISH YET)
Yesterday we had the first official meeting of the association that has been running of course un-officially for a year. I include here are a few photos from the meeting and a link to the website of the association.
We went to the establishment of the Iceland’s Eco Development Association. (Named: SAMTÖK LÍFRÆNNA NEYTENDA) in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Lots of conversation about how to develop Iceland in the direction of increasing eco-living, living, consuming, participating and developing a better future rather than shopping rubbish from international consumer motivating firms. People have of course been working on this for some time in Iceland but culture there is behind the other Nordic countries and Europe. Iceland is a kind of a mix between high education and development while also very primitive culturally and ecologically. This is probably obvious in a country that became cultured really after the Second World War when foreigners started coming in and participating in cultural development.
Here is a photo album from the meeting.
