Hard to believe considering all that ash which dropped in on our friends in Western Europe, but researchers agree that Iceland is the cleanest country in the world. That’s the latest findings based upon research conducted by Yale University and Columbia University measuring the environmental performance of 163 countries based on 25 indicators such as water and air quality, habitat protection and the impact of the environment on the health of the population.
It was only a matter of time before savvy Icelanders started to capitalize on the country’s newest abundant natural resource: volcanic ash. A small Icelandic company has collected ash from the Iceland volcano, filtered, dried and bottled it into small resealable glass containers ready to sell. The box can be opened so you can feel the texture and smell of the latest work of nature from “The Land of Fire and Ice.”
