Nottingham Eco-Home Makes Old Victorian Super Green
If you sometimes feel like you'd have to move to have a more eco-friendly home, check out the Nottingham Eco-Home. An old Victorian townhouse was retrofitted to be a super green home. From a solar water heater panel on the roof, to a system for composting toilet waste in the basement the entire home has been changed out to make it all as energy-efficient and eco-friendly as possible. The CO2 emissions have been reduced by 18 1/2 tonnes! And the natural gas bill is only $30 (US) per year! Of course, the return on investment on all those changes will take quite awhile, but the project is inspiring.
Instead of going out and building a shiny, new LEED certified, eco-home, why not do the very best you can with what you already have?
