It's not easy being green - rerun
Posted by DavidM in Family plan | 9 November 2006
For anyone who missed 'It's Not easy Beiing Green' when it was first shown, you'll be glad to know it's being repeated on BBC2 starting on Monday 13 November at 7.30pm.
Dick Strawbridge is a classic English eccentric - fascinating, enthusiastic and larger than life - and with his new age wife, teenage children and (under-valued in the programme) friends leaves town life to go green in the country.
They buy a run-down farmhouse and turn it into a green home. The progrmme is light-hearted and a celebration of what they do. It's well worth a watch even if building a waterwheel is beyond the capabilities of most of us.
My only criticsim is one I made previously. Programmes like this are inspiring but detached from the reality most of us live in. We need role models who live in town in a normal estate house and with a modest income to support a family.

I would like details of the greenhouse heat sink and its various components
