' Eden ' Green ? - Ha ! - Read on...

• Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is the latest high profile figure to be seduced into the pantheon of media ‘ celebrity ' recruits manipulated by Tim Smit and his London club of cronies for vicarious endorsement of the hugely extravagant but transparently environmentally harmful greenhouses at Bodelva Pit, hubristically  branded by its originators as the ‘ eden ‘ ‘ project ‘.
• In her apparent naivety in ecological matters the palatially endowed, much transported and poorly advised Queen Elizabeth II probably, of all women, the one with the most enormous carbon footprint on the planet, accepted an invitation to come all the way from England to Cornwall ( or rather an invitation was touted for by palace flunkeys) to open, on June 1st 2006, an idiosyncratic, whimsical and ugly building at the overblown Bodelva Pit bubblewrap polytunnel greenhouses. (The Queen's cavalcade safely skirted the calamity of under-invested chaotic disarray that is the snail's pace SWRDA mismanaged ' regeneration ' of St Austell town centre). 
• The building in question is, as usual, given a flamboyant spinmeistered name – The Core. Its fabricators claim a contrived connection between its architecture and the mathematical Fibonacci sequence which, in turn, it is claimed, reflects geometric patterns in some plant life. So around £15M of public moneys in one form or another  have been blown on this single small building which can be readily seen simply as ugly, pretentious and irrelevant to Cornwall’s and, indeed, our  planet’s  wider  needs and mankind’s place within them.
• This £15M is additional to over £100M squandered on the greenhouses themselves. Compare that to around £40M proposed spending on the ' regeneration ' of St Austell town centre which has got virtually nowhere other than a state of increasing dereliction in the last 5 years:
• Tragi-comedy:

Spinning. 

Unspinning 1.

Unspinning 2.

Unspinning 3.

• 
  In Cornwall itself, Cornwall ‘ County ‘ Council recently announced a swathe of cuts across public services throughout Cornwall in the areas of education, health and social care and the library service. In this context the bizarre misdirection of public moneys to the Bodelva Pit greenhouses is nothing short of scandalous.
• In the first months of  2006, the administrators of the fossil - fuelled and misleadingly self-styled ‘ eden ’ ‘ project ‘ demanded and received an interest payment suspension, due to repayment difficulties,  on an outstanding start-up loan of £1.8M from Cornwall ‘ County ‘ Council along with an additional non-returnable grant of £360, 000:
• Short on the heels of that £360,000 grant, library services throughout Cornwallsuffered a budget cut of £350,000.
• In the meantime, the fossil - fuelled misleadingly self-misnomered ‘ eden ‘ ‘ project ‘ continues to sidetrack Cornwall’s economic thrust away from sustainable real year round job creation and stability and up the disenfranchising  and socially and environmentally disruptive and destructive garden path cul de sac of tourism dependency.
• The fossil-fuelled misleadingly self-misnomered ' eden ' ' project ' has been described as: ' a trojan horse hive out of which has swarmed a plague of anglo - colonist opportunists and flybys intent on the annexation of Cornwall for weekend pleasures and fair-weather profits regardless of  laying waste to her environment, communities and culture '.      True.
   

' eden ' - more Thorn than Rose ? :

• At war with nature:

Repel those gulls ! (1)

Repel those gulls ! (2) 

LOOK OUT! There are ants about! 

Tarmac that indigenous plantlife! 

Scandalwood.

• Cognitive engineering.

• Big Brother primer (fingerprint taking and iris scanning for employees at a tourist theme park? Test-bed laboratory for Blair and successors'  bar-coded future?...Check out the eden project trustees below).
  
• THOSE ARMS TRADE TRUSTEES:

Sir Ronnie Hampel(Chairman of Trustees) - British Aerospace Weapons systems Director( 1989-2002)- dodgy deals in arabia - extreme fossil fuel consumption and pollution+ weapons of extreme destruction.

Simon Robertson - Rolls  Royce - extreme fossil fuel consumption and pollution + weapons of MASS destruction.

Sir John Rose - Rolls  Royce - extreme fossil fuel consumption and pollution + weapons of extreme destruction.

Picture a mythical Eden.  How does it look?

See any plastic greenhouses?

Was Cornwall more like Eden before ' eden ' ?

It seems so.
