An introduction to Eden Project Dundee

Join Laura Young, also known as Less Waste Laura, as she finds out more about a new Eden Project being planned for Dundee.
Eden Project Dundee will be a landmark development for the city, transforming the former gasworks on East Dock Street into a beacon for regeneration and green tourism. It will encourage visitors to think, feel and act differently by revealing how we can learn from and be inspired by nature.

Thank you Laura Young for this wonderful lesson -- May Dundee go forward and build the Eden Project and teach the world -- I would like to transform our enthusiasm into restoration of Scotland's older diverse forests and recovery for the red squirrel -- we could plant many more trees in Scotland! Thank you! I will support this if I can. God bless you and family amen

I can't wait to visit this place. It would be good to get future updates on anything the community can do to get involved, and help with this before it opens

[@baycast]

What a fabulous project!

Another important example of the transition that's currently going on in Dundee: The shipyard used to serve oil industry (and still does to some extend), but now they are deploying offshore wind turbines from there. They also built a modern waste incenerator facility instead of a landfill that used to be on the outskirts of the city. I've never been to a city that develops that fast.

I have lived in Dundee for fifty years. I have watched it change from a city infamous for murder, to a city where you see tourists wandering around with maps in their hands. The Eden Project will help the City of Dundee continue to transform itself into a place people want to visit, and a place where the people of Dundee are proud to live, at the forefront of an ecological adventure.

There is a film called "A Man for all Seasons". One character states to Thomas More that they would strike down all the laws to go after the Devil. Sir Thomas More replies " and when you have struck down the law and the devil turns around on you with what will you fight him?"

It's so exciting to see this coming to life, and always a treat to see Stobie featured on RUclips 😄
