The Carbon Free Home: 36 Remodelling Projects to Help Kick the Fossil Fuel Habit
Where to buy: www.amazon.com
Some of the questions people ask when trying to reduce their energy consumption in their home is:? Where do you start?? or ?Wouldn?t it be nice to start from scratch?, i.e. build your own eco-home, off the grid, with solar panels and compost toilets etc?
For most people, though, it will stay a dream. Instead, they are looking for ways to convert their own home in a way that reduces the pollution that destroys our planet.
The Carbon Free Home is a superbly written guide to help you in your quest to remodel your home to make it more energy-efficient. It provides 36 fantastic remodelling projects, from small to large, for all budgets. I like the fact that it details the cost involved, time, the skills and the expected energy savings. It is packed full of knowledge on how to reduce your energy consumption by switching to alternative and sustainable energy sources and changing your heating, hot water system, electricity, cooling, cooking and lighting. The section on transportation and gardening also give great advice on renewable methods.
Overall, I think that this book is a must have for anybody wanting to curb their energy wasting/spending and adopt a more thoughtful way of living.
