    Elf lobby blocks road project

    "Elf advocates in Iceland have joined forces with environmentalists to urge authorities to abandon a highway project that they claim will disturb elf habitat, including an elf church.

    The project has been halted until the supreme court of Iceland rules on a case brought by a group known as Friends of Lava, who cite both the environmental impact and the detrimental effect on elf culture of the road project."

    Right now I am amassing information about the wave of pedestrian activism that took place in the 1970s and early 1980s. For example: the ELF (Edinburgh Liberation Front), was active around the time circa 1970-1973. They used to give tourist walks around the slums of the city, and were one of the first groups to campaign for the streets of Edinburgh to be pedestrianised.

  3. And if they'd been listened to in the early 70s we might have been closer to the likes of Copenhagen by now!
