‘In search of a house without energy bills’ might be more accurate - but less likely to grab people’s attention. Maybe we’re over cautious with the correctness of our messages, Ben.
It’s in my diary too, Ben.
I can't say I watch Channel 4 too much these days, but this is certainly in my diary.

When I started building with straw, there were only a handful of people doing it. To put it mildly, universities had very limited interest in it. Now that is changing; #strawbuilding can no longer be ignored. But at the working end, there are still only a handful of people doing it. New papers list🧵
I've seen a lot of comments about the Swiss Club fire spreading due to wooden panelling/boarding, whilst there's an investigation pending, it's far more likely that the lethality and spread of the fire was due to the presence of polyurethane foam, absolutely horrible stuff
Fabric is still first if you want to improve comfort, health and affordability Ed. If you are only concerned about carbon sure, go ahead and sideline fabric. But you can expect to see fuel poverty, damp and mould increase. (And don't forget that leakier buildings = more generation & more cables)
We waste 79 kg of food per person/year.
99% of us breathe air that isn’t safe.
These problems are interconnected, and they’re exacerbating climate change, hunger, & health risks.
Take our quiz to see how your leftovers & the air you breathe are linked: www.unep.org/technical-hi...
