Tim Smit also says extreme political views will fade when people realise good things around the corner
Sir Tim Smit says the world is in a better place than it was when he co-founded the Eden Project 25 years ago and he believes people are more attuned to the natural world.
Speaking as the project in Cornwall reaches its 25th anniversary, Smit describedextreme political views as the “roar” of people fearful that they cannot control the future but he said they would fade when people realised that good things were around the corner.
“When people see that some of that future is going to be amazing, they’ll cease to want to control it in quite the same way,” he said.
Smit, a visionary, outspoken and sometimes controversial figure, compared people’s support of Reform UK to a messy night out they would regret, then move on from.
