Episode 202 - REYKJANES PENINSULA UPDATE, AND ESCAPING FAST FASHION
Listen now
Description
Today on RÚV English Radio, an update on events in and outside Grindavík, and a look ahead. There is still no eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and one reading is that the chances of there being one gently decline as time goes on. A brief update first today. In the second part of today's programme, a preview of an event coming to Reykjavík's Nordic House, on Thursday 23 November. So-called "fast fashion" sees consumers buy and often discard huge amounts of poor-quality clothing. Under the guidance of Icelandic textile artist Ýrúrarí and with inspiration from Swedish company Renewcell (https://www.renewcell.com/en/), the Nordic Council Environment Prize Winner 2023, you'll have the chance this week at the Nordic House to breathe new life into old clothes and uncover ways to break up with fast fashion.
