Norway just gave permission to a mining company to dump their waste into the Førde fjord. What can I do about this? (lemmy.world)

Two days ago, there was a post over at /c/WorldNews that linked an article from the Guardian about Norway granting permission to private mining company Nordic Mining to dispose of their waste into the Førde fjord. I left a comment asking how can I, an American with no power what so ever, do to stop this. As of writing this, I still haven't gotten a response. I might contact the head of Naturvernforbundet. If there's a better approach please suggest it. Thanks in advance.

I didn’t at first read that you’re an American, and was gonna post an answer assuming you’re in Norway. Unfortunately this advice won’t help anymore, but I’ll post it anyway in case some Norwegians are around.

Try direct action. Unfortunately it might not work in the long run, but even stalling the company could cost them big money.

Remember that violence is the monopoly of the state and there’s a reason they don’t want others to utilise it.
