The new series “The Green Planet” by naturalist Sir David Attenborough – begs the question ‘why did it take so long for such a brilliant series to be made at all’ . In these already pandemic-stressed times, it’s best not to ask and the answer would likely come…. ‘for a range of reasons’. Great news – it has received high acclaim including putting plants. Here, as a result, we kick-start a new series about websites, films, books and facts about plants and fungi.
The Eden Project is an ‘Eco visitor attraction in Cornwall, UK. As an educational charity, our destinations and projects explore the interconnections between all living things.’
”There is a planetary emergency. Only by deepening our collective understanding of the interconnections between all living things and seeing them as a whole can we protect the Earth and engender environmental harmony and social equity.
We need to inspire citizenship over consumption in order to care for this planet, Spaceship Earth, our only home, that provides us ‒ and all life ‒ with fresh air, clean water, fertile soil, rich biodiversity, a stable climate and an awesome recycling system. Exploring how it all interconnects can transform our understanding of the world and help us see, how together, our actions can make a difference. Eden is a beacon of hope.
That’s why we work collaboratively with other organisations, walk the talk at our own site in Cornwall, and share our stories through horticulture exhibits, arts and culture programmes, community initiatives and education work. “
