Going Green

The importance of becoming environmentally aware is becoming more and more important, and it seems that green living starts at home. Property journalist Jon Neale, John Slaughter from the Home Builders Federation, and Julian Brooks from GreenMoves.com talk about ways that you can clean up your act under your own roof.
The good news is that simple changes can make a world of difference, simply turning your television off standby for example. Having said that, the sky is the limit as far as updating your home is concerned – or you could even buy a purpose built eco-home.
Developers are beginning to make a concerted effort to build greener properties. In fact, they are hoping to reach the government’s target of all new homes being ‘zero carbon’ by 2016.
But, as discovered in this show, there is no guarantee that such ambitious targets will be reached. So, for the time being at least, it seems that the onus is on you – the homeowner.
For further information about how to make your home more environmentally friendly, download our Green Buyers Guide.
