Bjork to do a free concert in her homeland Iceland
Bjork is set to play a free gig in her homeland of Iceland on June 28th 2008 it is planned to raise awareness of Green Issues.
A message from Bjork on the Bjork.com reads
Neither me or look at ourselves as experts on nature, or as politicians, but we do travel a lot and we believe we know a lot about what image Iceland has abroad, and that we are far behind [other countries in the environmental stakes].
“I spent two months in South America, and there I saw the poor doing recycling. We can’t be 30 years behind, we need to work together on this and preferably we should be leading the way.
“Too often battles being fought for nature turn into something negative and into mudslinging. We will not go that way, we are not saying that this and that is forbidden, we are rather asking, ‘What about all these other possibilites?’.
“The 21st Century is not going to be another oil century but rather a century where we need to recycle, think green and design both power plants and our surroundings in harmony with nature.”
