Advantages: Aesthetically good, good message, will fill up a day.

Disadvantages: Relatively expensive

The eden project is the climax of the eco-friendly-ness. Built in an unused quarry site, houses two bioshperes that create two habitats, one of a dry desert, and the other a tropical rainforest. The rest of the site is used partly as a sort of garden, there is a cafe, and other parts are for sculptures depicting how to stay green etc.

The idea behind it is to teach people how to be as friendly as possible to the environment, by showing them what they could be losing, and how they could be losing it.

The two biomes are very impressive. On the right, the dry one, there are lots of dry habitated(?) plants. There are also numerous scultures throughout, most memorably a herd of pigs made out of wood.

The other sde, the rainforest, is the show stopper however. As you walk the difference slaps you in the face, as the hot humid air flies at you. There are lots of native plant, and even a waterfall! (it impressed me atleast...).


The project is a brilliant idea, perfectly executed, with the best thing about it being the message it gives!

Summary: Well worth the day out.
