A visit to the Eden Project and reading the book Eden by Tim Smit is very inspiring. I really recommend this book to everyone who wants to become campaigner for a better planet. As with all interesting projects that become reality this is not a black and white story.The book is both a good overview of many of the challenges that you must face when you want to move from idea to reality, but it is also about the need to keep the dream alive and not compromise the basic vision that made the
I like Tim’s approach to getting things done:
"you can only achieve the impossible by asking the young, because they don't know it can't be done"

“This [The Eden Project] was never a product, and one sentence can never do it justice. You see, Eden may be a destination, but you can only reach it with your heart”.
If you are close to Cornwall, pay a visit to the Eden project, if not read the book.
