Owners of green houses around the country will throw open their doors this Sunday (13th September) to show and tell the rest of us what can be done to live a sustainable lifestyle in our own homes.
Now in its eighth year, Sustainable House Day allows you to wander through the homes and meet their owners who can guide you on sustainable lifestyle choices for your home and show how easy and economical the move to green living can be.
Organisers Judy Celmins and Pia Vogrin say that the most positive feedback from visitors over the past years has been about the willingness of homeowners to share their stories.
"Talking about the lessons they've learnt - sharing the stories that have worked and the things that didn't go so well - is just as valuable as looking through the house itself."
See the sustainable house day website for details about where and when the houses in your neighbourhood will be available for viewing.
