general | news
Good news for anyone who enjoyed the first series of
It's Not Easy Being Green - a new second series will start at 8.30pm on 22nd March 2007.
The First Series
During the first series we followed the lives of the
Strawbridge family as they moved to a neglected farmhouse with three acres in Cornwall turning it into an eco-home. They installed an
energy efficient heating system, a
wind turbine generator, a
solar water heater, and even a
waterwheel which generates enough electricity to power
CFL bulbs throughout the house.
Dick Strawbridge also set up a
biodiesel processing plant to convert
waste vegetable oil (WVO) into fuel for his Land Rover.
The Second Series
Over the course of eight programmes to be shown on Thursdays at 8.30pm on BBC2 the Dick Strawbridge, his son James, and friend Jim will be shown travelling around the country helping other people to go green and go organic.
In programme one Dick travels to the Wirral in Merseyside to help the Keenan family plan their £750,000
eco home to be heated by a
ground source heat pump with a
rainwater harvesting system and a
wind turbine generator. Dick, James, and Jim also help a family to grow fruit and vegetables for their child who has multiple allergies.
It's Not Easy Being Green Book
The book to accompany the first series is still available through Amazon here at just
£11.38 a saving of £7.61 on recommended retail price:
It's Not Easy Being Green: One Family's Journey Towards Eco-Friendly Living by Dick Strawbridge.
It's Not Easy Being Green Competition
The BBC is running a competition on its website to
win a place on one of Dick's green courses worth £165 at
New House Farm in Cornwall. To enter you just need to state why you should win (in 150 words of less).
