DESCRIPTION:Tim Smit was responsible for starting   the Eden Project\, nea
 r St Austell in Cornwall\, an £80 million initiative to build three trans
 parent biomes in an old china clay pit. The biomes contain different eco-c
 limates loosely based on the different climates found throughout the world
  - tropical jungle\, temperate\, and desert. Eden professes to educate peo
 ple about environmental matters and encourages a greater understanding and
  empathy with these matters.  \n\nSmit was awarded the CBE in the 2002 New
  Years Honours List\, and in 2006 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Des
 ign degree by the University of the West of England "in recognition of his
  outstanding achievements in promoting the understanding and practise of t
 he responsible management of the vital relationship between plants\, peopl
 e and resources\, which have made a major contribution regionally\, nation
 ally and internationally to sustainable development\, tourism\, architectu
 re and landscape architecture".\n\n
