Build green

Suzuki, David T., 1936- (Added Author). Salvador, Paula. (Added Author). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. (Added Author).

Summary: Examines building green in Canada, and shows that a house built from natural materials like sticks and straw is better protection from the elements, it mitigates your personal impact on global climate change, and could save you big bucks too. Canada's best architects hype their green creations: from retro-fitting a hip, old Montreal housing complex with state-of-the-art sustainable energy systems, to pitching hay for strawbale houses, to building transportable "mini-homes" with their own small power plant. Visits Randy Bachman's "rammed earth" house on Saltspring Island, architect Peter Busby's Dockside Green community in Victoria, along with several other green homes in British Columbia.
