Showing that everything we need to make our homes sustainable is already here, the author, Chris Bird, reveals how thousands of individuals, groups and organisations are turning their homes into low-carbon dwellings. With advice on what works and what the obstacles are, this book covers everything from building a roundhouse in the woods to refurbishing council flats in Sheffield; creating an eco-cluster in rural Dorset to overcoming the psychological barriers to change.
Setting it apart from other green building titles, the book focuses on how people are transforming homes in the context of sustainable communities. Town profiles and examples from around the country show what has been achieved in places like Stroud, Brighton or Totnes, where the author, Chris Bird himself lives.
