World Environment Day 2012: What Did YOU Do?

Lifted straight from the United Nations website:
"World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round but climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere..."
...everywhere, it seems, except the Faroe Islands.
On World Environment Day 2012, when pledges to save the earth and its ecosystem were being made around the world, another grindadrap was taking place in the Faroes. Sandoy Island was the site for this first massacre of pilot whales in the 2012 season.
These pictures say it all...
