Sustainability

Sustainability is fundamental to the Eden Project and will be high on the agenda at the G7 summit {link to: https://www.g7uk.org/the-cornwall-summit/ } taking place in Cornwall in June.

We believe, if we remember that we’re a part of the natural world, not apart from it, we may well act very differently in our day-to-day lives and in the decisions we’re taking. We’ve got to constantly challenge ourselves with the extreme or the radical and be open to new ideas.

Eden is about connecting people to the natural world. We’ve got to up our game to remind people about the interdependence on the planet that we have.

 Dave Harland, Eden Project.
