Can you imagine having your home destroyed? Can you imagine a life full of ruin? Well, for the indigenous communities, this is their reality. Sir Tim Smit, co-founder of The Eden Project, empathises with these communities, and intends to flip western control over these areas on its head as The Eden Project looks to international expansion across all continents.Tim highlights that the debate shouldn’t be about carbon, but about keeping our planet cool. With opposed views on establishment, Tim outlines the importance of collective moral compass, in other words…big businesses, wake up. Our world is fragile, it needs to be protected, not thrown to the wayside. Whilst there’s work to be done, its time to dig deep and save the earth. ***The Blue Earth Summit is a movement and community driving positive action for our natural world.
