Hi Hattie, I regularly read your blog and find it useful to keep up to date with all things sustainable. Jay (my partner) and I recently appeared on BBC2’s “It’s Not Easy Being Green” as the show followed our eco-renovation of a central London Victorian terraced house (if you didn’t see it, try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJLc8_o3qto). The reason for the mail is that Jay and I were given the opportunity to do a couple of talks about our project at Grand Designs Live over the past ten days, and found a very positive response from ordinary members of the public on sustainable renovation. We’ve come to the conclusion that it’s practical and workable examples of buildings and materials that most people want. If you’re interested in receiving some details about what we have done, then please drop us a line and we would be happy to send you information.
Kind regards
Chris
