The Eden Project

Today we went a bit touristy... we travelled about an hour to a place near St.Austell called the Eden Project. It is kind of like Montreal's Biodome, but different in a few ways. It is much bigger, and the founders have a purpose of trying new ideas with the goal of supporting sustainable development. They collect their own water from rain, make the fuel for their tractors from vegetation they grow on site, and try to recycle almost everything. Pretty cool (we did a little ice skating on the only rink in Cornwall), but also pretty warm (especially the rain forest bit!). Take care. M
