I am very excited about the new series of "It's Not Easy Being Green" on BBC2 (every Wednesday at 8.00). A couple of years ago the Strawbridge family moved to an old house in Cornwall and eco-renovated it to make it as sustainable as possible. They built a waterwheel to power all the lights in the house, started a vegetable garden, and have now installed photovoltaic panels amongst a whole host of other fabulous green renovations. The programme followed them as they made all these changes and in subsequent series Dick (the Dad) and James (the Son) have travelled about the UK to help other households make similar green improvements.
It's such a fabulous programme and despite the title of "It's Not Easy Being Green" Dick and James make the whole process a lot of fun. They also have a lot of original ideas and when I saw a new series was starting I jumped about the kitchen in delight! Watch it!
