Reykjavík Green Days
 | This article needs to be updated. (March 2015) |
The Reykjav�k Green Days is an annual event which takes place in Reykjav�k, Iceland. This event was founded by a group of students at the University of Iceland in the Environmental and Natural resources program.[1]
"Gaia", as the group is known, aims to raise awareness and stimulate citizens, businesses, non-governmental organizations, local authorities and other urban actors to improve the environment's quality by implementing changes in behavior.
It's considered by the Reykjav�k town Council an environmental education initiative that encourages all stakeholders to take steps towards becoming more environmentally responsible.
The initiate has been organized by the SEED Iceland association in collaboration with other minor local institutions. The staff has been made up of people with 9 nationalities[2] and so the event has been a relevant tourist attraction. The most important happening of the 2009 edition was the Reykjav�k critical mass, which was actually the first one in Iceland.[3]
