Busy Bodies

The Big Green Bus was brought along for a 'Family Fun Day' for those who live nearby within the St. Austell area to Poltair Secondary School today for those who were wandering around & enthusiastic to take part.

To follow on, The Big Green Bus is The Eden Project's way of spreading the word to those who can be reached, but cannot reach us. The bus contains interesting, intriguing and original factual information on how those around us and how everyone can live an efficient green life (and also save a few-bob in the mean time).

Furthermore, The bus revealed itself last year to the general public at Bestival, blasting out the message to cut your showers short and shredding shoddy-meat products to their degrading birth. Foremost, and fearful to some: The future is green, go-getting and guaranteed to make life easier for everyone- and Eden does want you to know about it. Even if other obscure oppositions don't.

As awareness attempted to arrive in it's bliss, The Barefoot Games remained hidden to the public once more. As the ages of our Volunteers are 16-25, there was limited unlucky recruitment opportunity, that didn't stop us hanging in hope. Even if it wasn't to make an appearance here, our opportunity may open itself up else where.

To continue, Even if myself and the Eden volunteers didn't get to spread the word about Barefoot, we still got to explore the bus for ourselves. As new-to-the-game volunteers, we all came away learning something scary about the world we live in. If I hadn't visited the Big Green Bus today I wouldn't have learnt that the meat within a Rustlers beef burger alone, uses a staggering 2300 litres of water through production: the same amount as a kilogram of rice. However, the rice would last lengthy, longer days; the burger would last a lonely, lacking lunch. I also learnt that a tenth of the women on Earth are unable to read or write, and 60% of the world is Asian.

Green, Gathering Groups of all kind and Generating a Knowledge for decent days of living for everyone. Make sure you catch the Green Bus!
