Bjork and Sigur Ros are to play a special free show in Reykjavik at the very end of this month, to help raise awareness of environmental problems in Iceland.
Bjork posted the following message on her official site, regarding the issue of environmental impact: "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."
"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."
The exact location will be disclosed nearer to the event's June 28th date.
