Tim Smit is the CEO and Co-Founder of the award-winning Eden Project in Cornwall. Eden began as a dream in 1995 and opened its doors to the public in 2000. Since then more than 8 million people have come to see what was once a sterile pit turned into a cradle of life containing world-class horticulture and startling architecture symbolic of human endeavor. Eden has contributed £800 million into the Cornish economy. Eden is proud of its success in changing people’s perception of the potential for and the application of science, by communicating and interpreting scientific concepts through the use of art, drama and storytelling as well as living up to its mission to take a pivotal role in local regeneration. It demonstrates once and for all that sustainability is not about sandals and nut cutlets, it is about good business best practice and the citizenship values of the future.
