The importance of becoming environmentally aware is becoming more and more important, and it seems that green living starts at home.

Developers are beginning to make a concerted effort to build greener properties. In fact, they are hoping to reach the government’s target of all new homes being ‘zero carbon’ by 2016.

But, as discovered in this show, there is no guarantee that such ambitious targets will be reached. So, for the time being at least, it seems that the onus is on you – the homeowner.
