JAMES BOND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY?
REYKJAVIK (Reuters) - Iceland's government has refused to let a town import crocodiles to snap up fish factory waste and lure tourists to the North Atlantic island.

Iceland's chief veterinary officer said on Friday he had advised the farm ministry against granting a request to import the reptiles by the small northern town of Husavik because crocodiles can carry salmonella.

The Ministry of Agriculture has in recent months been swamped with requests to import and farm exotic animals, such as ostriches, llamas and camels. (link)
What a brilliant idea. Yeah, Iceland, exactly where a cold-blooded reptile wants to be. Though I'm sure this got a hearty thumbs-up from the ISJBVH (International Society of James Bond Villains and their Henchmen)
