DIARY OF AN ECOBUILDER

The complete account of this ambitious self-build in central London is available as a full colour book from Green Books.

The book includes:
- all the diary entries first published in the Independent
- contacts and references for the many eco-issues addressed
- extra material describing the many details that turn the ecohouse into a home
- extensive photography of the build and the completed house.

To buy a copy of the book:
- contact Green Books on 01803 863260
- ask at your local bookshop
- got to Amazon. This link is to Amazon.co.uk where I have a considerate and generous review. My review on Amazon.com is an absolute stinker! For the record, Mr Black, this 120m2 energy self-sufficient house is not 'massive and wasteful', nor did I cut a single corner. Every choice was made for good environmental reasons, including the concrete foundations (a house that is pulled down by tree roots is not sustainable).

I have also written a pocket guide to ecorenovation. See Green Up! An A to Z of Environmentally-friendly Home Improvements.
