Housing
A house should fit in with nature, the best thing in our house is the wildlife that visits the garden.
Planning laws should leave wildlife corridors connecting national parks leaving space for wildlife and people to walk around.
A house should be self sustaining, all you need is rain and sunshine for power and water.
The average family uses 21kwh per day electricity and maybe 200 litres of water. This equates to about 32 square metres of roof for solar panels and solar hot water.
Collecting the water off the roof of a 200sq metre roof should be enough for any family.
Composting toilets to fertilise the gardens.
A solar powered pool pump using an ultra violet light pool cleaner reduces the use of power and chemicals to almost nil.
