Professor Connett's lecture at The Eden Project was organised by Charles Hall from Camel Area Friends of The Earth. The Eden lecture was based on a recent presentation by Professor Connett to the United Nations Division on Sustainable Development. Professor Connett was at County Hall in Truro earlier in the day when he gave the same United Nations presentation to 12 of the 14 members of the Waste Development Advisory Panel and council officers from the Waste Disposal Authority |
