The Eden Project

The original reason I was fascinated with the conservation efforts at the Eden project- they compost 1.5 tons of leftover food and rubbish produced by visitors each day during peak season and recycle all the bottles and cans. Bottles are made into really neat glasses using a very simple process- check it out!

The robot sculpture at the Eden Project which is made up of all of the electronic gadgets that one person (British) will go through in a lifetime (probably more for Americans!). For an idea of how large the sculpture is, find a washing machine in it.


Visited the largest botanical garden in the world (in Cornwall), which features two giant geodesic domes containing the only tropical rainforest canopy "in captivity." A very cool place committed to education and conservation.
