It's Not Easy Being Green by Dick Strawbridge
Are you aware of your 'eco-footprint'? Dick Strawbridge and his family decided that they needed to reduce theirs - this meant reducing the amount of land, water and other natural resources required to support their lifestyle. To accompany the BBC2 TV series, this book chronicles the Strawbridge family's journey from a perfectly normal life and house in the Midlands to a self-sufficient environmentally friendly dream home in the West Country. Written by the flamboyant, mustachioed, eccentric presenter, Dick 'the Colonel' Strawbridge, this book is an inspiration to people thinking of becoming eco-friendly - or even just a bit greener. While attractively designed, with specially commissioned color photos and screen grabs, it will also be full of practical advice, with essential addresses and contact details at the end.Newhouse Farm, a three-acre smallholding in Cornwall, England, is run by Dick and James Strawbridge, a father-son partnership. The Strawbridge family's transfer from a luxurious home in the Midlands to Newhouse Farm was covered by the BBC's It's Not Easy Being Green. Dick is a TV host, an engineer, an inventor, and a sustainability expert. He is a regular host of C4's Scrapheap Challenge, a regular contributor to BBC's Coast, and came in second place on Celebrity Masterchef. It's Not Easy Being Green is his first book.
James is the cofounder of Posh Pasty Company, as well as a chef and sustainable living specialist. He co-hosts ITV1's The Hungry Sailors and Saturday Farm with his father. They wrote Practical Self-Sufficiency together.
