Did you ever watch that BBC2 series called “It’s Not Easy Being Green”, with moustachio’d ex Army, ex Scrap Heap Challenge General<\/strike> Lieutenant-Colonel<\/em> <\/strong>Dick Strawbridge1<\/sup>?<\/p>\n

It was all about Strawbridge and his family moving to Cornwall and trying to live a low impact life. The episode I watched was all about building a solar heat sink that would keep Dick’s greenhouse toasty warm throughout the night.<\/p>\n

Which brings us on to Renewable Energy UK<\/a>. This is an awesome site, all about building DIY projects just like the Lieutenant-Colonel’s heat sink.<\/p>\n

I think I’ll have to start saving up my aluminium cans to build my own solar air heater<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of T-Shirts, watched this video on YouTube all about manufacturing Organic Cotton T-shirts in Palestine.<\/p>\n
