Reduce your "Carbon Footprint" - Create an Eco House

“We all need to curb our carbon output – after all, households constitute 44% of the UK’s emissions” - David Miliband

“harness the Sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories” - Barack Obama 

Due to concerns about the environment, now is the time to make your "Eco-House", eco friendly and reduce your carbon footprint. We can all do our bit for the environment by assessing how we live. Being carbon neutral doesn’t have to involve dramatic lifestyle changes; it can be as simple as;

• Walking to local shops 
• turning off lights
• Washing clothes at low temperatures
• Having a showers instead of baths
• Turning Appliances off, not on Standby
• Installing Eco Friendly Products

There are even more ingenious ways to conserve energy including resourses like Solar Power, Photovoltaics, Wind Power, Rainwater Harvesting, Insulation, and going off-grid solutions, all outlined in this web-site. We can all do our bit to achieve a carbon neutral Eco-house.

Soon we will be forced to reduce our Carbon footprint The government is looking to introduce environmental policies to encouage people to be more “Carbon Neutral”. The Carbon Credit Scheme will attempt to reduce the amount of carbon households produce. A Carbon Credit will be given for units of energy The government will reward those who use less Carbon, penalising less energy efficient households. Carbon Zero properties < £500,000 are exempt from stamp duty, saving thousands for potential buyers.

In a few years time a poor household energy rating could make your home difficult to sell. Don’t be caught out, the time to reduce your carbon footprint is now!

The government is also looking into building a number of Eco towns and Eco Villages and a number of building firms now offer Eco Friendly house extensions, at reasonable rates.
