Summary

Threats to the environment are constantly in the news but daunted by the scale of the problem, we often feel powerless. Eco shows that we can make a difference by designing or adapting the homes we live in along more eco-friendly lines. While environmentally friendly architecture was once seen as a minority interest, it is now viewed simply as best practice. Eco proves that it can be beautiful too. It is the book both for those who want to build a home that respects the environment and for people who wish to make changes to the home they already have. Focusing on design, finish, decoration and even housekeeping, Eco promises you lower fuel bills, fewer allergy-related illnesses, less waste and a healthy world for your children to inherit.
