Has anyone here visited the Eden Project in Cornwall?

[lebkuchen]

It's an incredible environmental project begun about 11 years ago by a record producer Tim Smit, to promote a greener environment through recycling, better use of natural resources for our own survival, research/technology used to sustain resources, and so forth. The site has three biomes: tropical, mediteranean and savannah. Eden Project is built in an abandoned clay pit, and the transformation from a dust bowl to lush gardens is amazing. It's also provide many jobs for those living in St. Austell, an otherwise poor section of Cornwall due to lack of jobs after industry went bust.

Something like this should happen to Flynt, Michigan.
