The Eden Project has been shortlisted for the Living Landmarks Award, and stands to win up to £50-million in National Lottery funding for a new global climate change biome. The planned biome will be called The Edge, and will focus on the challenges of water and energy use in the future.
“This is a great opportunity for Eden and Cornwall but for us to be chosen as the Landmark Project we will have to win support from all around Britain. The Edge will explore what it is to live with the grain of nature. It is a project for our time and is arguably the most challenging and essential call to arms for our generation.”
Tim Smit, The Eden Project’s chief executive

This is all too ridiculous.
Almost entering the CULT zone.
There isn’t much green or sustainable about the misleadingly self-styled ‘eden’ project.

And what about

Oh and the feelings of those who actually have to endure the overflowing impact of the thing:
