On the 19th of July 2008, Saving Iceland invaded the construction site of the planned Century Aluminum smelter in Helguvik, Iceland. The work was stopped for the rest of the day by people chaining to machinery and climbing in a crane. Saving Iceland protested against Century's environmentally devestating bauxite mining in Jamaica and the environmental impact of the planned Helguvik smelter in Iceland. [More info / press release]
