Petition against oil exploration in the Arctic signed
I am among the ones who signed the petition "Stopp grunnlovsstridig oljeleting i Arktis!" [Stop constitution-violating oil exploration in the Arctic!], along with some 200 others, most of them cultural figures (such as authors). The petition was published in the Norwegian daily Dagsavisen April 27th.
The petition triggered quite a bit of media coverage, including mention on public radio (NRK) and:
