A super-jeep playing in the valley of Þórsmörk
Many people see nature as a big playground and think little about the consequences of their behaviour. If the driver of this super-jeep ever thinks about the emissions his vehicle produces? Or about the fact, that the oil and grid, that gets washed into the river during a car-wash like this, might have an effect on other lifeforms? And did it ever occur to him that other people might maybe not be impressed but annoyed when he races through the wilderness? I doubt it. It’s all down to money, thrillseeking and ego boosting.
This driver here was driving in a river bed, which at least does not leave any tracks as the river takes them sooner or later. But those cars drive everywhere, not only inside rivers. Therefore, offroad driving has become a big problem here in Iceland. Large parts of the interiour are desert-like and tempt some people to drive wherever they like, which officially is forbidden. Tracks often stay visible for years, as the arctic environment takes ages to recover. Officially, the 4x4 paths of the Icelandic interiour are only opened for 2-3 months over late summer and autumn. Spring is the worst time to travel: the snow melt makes the ground soft and even more prone to erosion. That is the reason why I always react very, very harshly to everybody that travels on jeeptracks during springtime. The consequences are much bigger then most people think: nature’s beauty is on stake. One bad example leads others to follow, always with the excuse: “I did not know” or “... but I saw other people doing the same...” As tourism is increasing, its problems are as well.
As in most parts of the world, tourism is changing the last bits of wilderness in this beautiful little county. The lack of nature protective rules doesn’t help, nor does the very disrespective behaviour of many Icelanders regarding their precious nature. Iceland’s wilderness is disappearing: just as nearly everywhere in the world. This is no exaggeration but a sad and undeniable fact.
The only thing that I can say to everybody who cares for nature and his own future: be aware of the consequences of your behaviour. Nature is precious, and it is disappearing because of our shortsightedness. Think into the future! Think twice about what you do, and which impression you make on other people. Beautiful pictures itself do not do nature any good. It’s the message they convey that is important!

Saw this Food Allergy Awareness bumper sticker on a vehicle outside the grocery store. Unfortunately, I've known people who are in denial about this, they think that food allergies are in the patient's head. That's wrong- food allergies are very real!
It's time to think about those 3 day walks coming up this fall! These would make a thoughtful gift for any breast cancer walker, fundraiser, participant or just for YOU!
These Sterling Silver Sandal charms feature the classic silver ribbon design and are accented with Swarovski crystals on the earwires and tiny Swarovski pearls.

Ever eager to capture new angles on Oslo, we rushed to Frogner Park on hearing that some artschool students (with permission from the Art Council) had put pink bras on Vigeland's statues to publicise Breast Cancer Awarenss Month .
However, next day all bras were gone and the statues restored to usual boring naked state.

To kick off our week for Violence Awareness, Dr. Tannis came to speak to our students about valuing education, valuing ourselves and valuing others. Students engaged in a lesson of self-reflection and the importance of education, as well as loving themselves and loving others, and how it prevents violence.
To be self-aware is no where more evident than on the social networking phenomenon, Facebook. People are always checking up on their status, and on their freidns reactions to themselves. In this photograph a young man is looking at photographs of himself he has loaded onto the site.

Last week (W/C - 20/1/13) was Hate Crime Awareness Week in Greater Manchester which was held as the city’s new hate crime strategy came into place.
This outlines how the City Council, together with Greater Manchester Police, the Crown Prosecution Service and other agencies will work with residents across the city to tackle the issue, and follows a consultation event last summer in which partners and residents were invited to talk about their experiences.
The strategy includes measures such as increasing reporting of hate crime incidents, taking effective action against perpetrators, making sure the agencies involved work more closely together, providing proper support to victims and preventing hate crime by educating people and working to change attitudes.
Manchester youngsters got the chance to find out about hate crime during a series of events held to raise awareness of the problem over the week.
Meanwhile, residents’ groups across the city held dozens of events throughout hate crime awareness week to help their neighbours understand the issue.
The events, supported by the City Council, include:
The Whalley Range based Community On Solid Ground project, which provides activities to encourage young people to get back into work, education or training, held an event on 26 January aimed at raising awareness of hate crime among young people.
Manchester street pastors went out in Rusholme on 25 January to hand out information to members of the public about hate crime and how to report it.
The Mancunian Way charity held a ‘Shimmer and Shine’ beauty event to raise awareness of hate crime among young women in Gorton.
Groups of students from across south Manchester held events throughout the week.
The Challenging Hate Forum held a public event at Manchester Cathedral on 22 January.
Information about hate crime and how to report it was given out to members of the public during an event at Longsight library on 23 January.
Abraham Moss and King David High School held the first of a series of events which included visiting victims of the Holocaust and atrocities in Rwanda and Kosovo.
An event was organised by the Indian senior citizens centre in Longsight.
The city centre’s Lesbian and Gay Foundation held an event encouraging people to report homophobic hate crime.
Councillor Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council’s executive member for neighbourhood services, said: "We are determined to make sure that hate crime will not be tolerated in Manchester, but for us to deal effectively with this issue, it’s vital we work closely with residents to make sure they understand what hate crime is and change their perceptions towards people who from other groups.
"We’ve tapped into the city’s famous community spirit and Manchester should be proud that a wide range of different groups from across the city have come on board to join us in the fight against hate crime. It’s also vital that young people know about hate crime and so the play being held at the Manchester Communications Academy is an excellent opportunity to get the message across to them."
Greater Manchester Police Assistant Chief Constable, Garry Shewan, said: “Hate crime is something that can ruin the lives of many, it could be happening right under our noses where those closest to us could be living in fear and not even know that they are a victim of crime.
“ This awareness week is about showing the people of Manchester that we are working together with Manchester City Council, the CPS and our local partners to put a stop to hate crime but also to open people’s eyes to the problem and ask them to challenge it, speak up and encourage victims to report it.
“Every individual has a right to feel safe and secure in their surroundings, free from hostility and harassment. If this isn’t the case than it needs to stop and we won't tolerate it. If it's happening to you, speak to someone and get the help you need so we can bring offenders to justice.”
Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner, said: "Hate crime is a blight on our society. No-one should be a victim of crime simply because of who they are.
“This kind of work is incredibly important as it helps people understand what hate crime is and shows that police and other agencies will listen to the diverse communities affected and take it seriously. By standing together we can stamp it out for good."
Anyone who wants to report hate crime should call 101 or 08000 83007, or alternatively report it online at www.report-it.org.uk.
