"It's the fourth round of the National Monster Jeep Championships, an 
unmissable date in any Icelandic car lover's diary. This is a top 
spectator sport in a country which boasts more cars per head than 
nearly anywhere else in the world.

But Iceland has a driving ambition, to run these and every vehicle on 
its roads with clean hydrogen fuel. In Iceland's bubbling volcanic 
landscape, what once sounded like a science fiction fantasy is now 
taking shape. Iceland is full of natural energy and by harnessing these 
resources, its waterfalls and hot springs, it wants to become the 
world's first hydrogen economy."

Dear friends

I honestly believe that my travel plans can stop Iceland from resuming 
commercial whaling. That's why I put my name on a Greenpeace pledge 
saying I would seriously consider taking a vacation in Iceland, rather 
than somewhere else, if the Government of Iceland stopped whaling.

Now I'm asking if you'll do the same. It's easy and only takes a minute 
at:

Our goal is to demonstrate to the Icelandic government how much whales 
are worth to them alive. The Iceland tourist industry is on our side in 
this battle, and we need to help them convince the Icelandic government 
that a return to commercial whaling would be a costly mistake and a 
gash in the reputation of a country that overall has a good 
environmental record. Already the value of the pledge in tourist income 
to Iceland is over $US 29 million, compared to the 3 to 4 million 
earned from whaling back when Iceland last commercially hunted whales. 
Over 25,000 people have pledged to visit Iceland if the government 
stops whaling.

Iceland is a fabulous place to watch whales, and the country's rugged 
mountains, glaciers, volcanos, and pristine wilderness make it an 
attractive nature tourism destination. Hope you'll join in!
