EcoFan: the Ideal gift for the Environmentalist in your Life
This Christmas calls for practicality, and what’s more practical than lower energy consumption? The EcoFan is a brilliant piece of kit. Just place the fan on top of your gas or wood-burning stove, and as it heats up it’ll begin to spin. You’ll notice there aren’t cables hanging around, and that’s because the fan uses no more energy than it takes from the stove’s heat. … Continue reading EcoFan: the Ideal gift for the Environmentalist in your Life
How Natural Insulation benefits the Environment
Homeowners today are regularly told to enhance their homes using common insulating materials.

Choose Natural Insulation, for Sustainability’s sake
Recently, we’ve seen a bit of an increase in the appreciation of everything natural, local, sustainable, and good quality. Things like wool, which the UK – and Wales in particular – has for a long time been known for. For a while, big brands using poorer quality ingredients have dominated, but now it seems that goodness, rather than cheapness, is what we truly care about. … Continue reading Choose Natural Insulation, for Sustainability’s sake

This particular build a few miles away in Blaenffos (pronounced Bline-force for our non-Welsh speaking readers) is so interesting that three of us from the office managed to find suitable excuses to visit it earlier this month. Debbie and Julian are building a load-bearing one … Continue reading Strawbale Home at Blaenffos Part 1
