The ups and downs of homebuilding in Italy

Energy Saving in the Home

February 23, 2007 · Leave a Comment

My apathy regarding the house has passed. Thankfully, I’ve had a reality check and know that soaking away in a spa tub with a bicchiere di vino rosso is not the best way to keep momentum moving. So I’ve decided to dedicate an hour a day to exploring the possibilities of making our house as green as possible.

 Interestingly, I read yesterday that the Brits are leading the way in eco gadgets and also about a Victorian house in Nottingham, in the UK, that has even got the goverment excited about the energy-saving devices employed.

Here are the links:

 The Recycled House

Green Gadgets to Save Energy in the Home - here you’ll find eco balls to wash your washing without washing detergent. M comes from a cleaning-obsessed family where la mamma gets up at 6.30am to start the daily routine. And yet I managed to convince him of the benefits. Result!

More Eco Gadgets - solar-powered ipod chargers, that type of thing.

 I haven’t found any good Italian sites yet so if anyone knows of any please let me know.
