I have been interested in the detail of how to combate environmental degradation and climate change for a number of years. I am studying constructing ecohabitats using natural, locally and sustainably ressourced materials. I have worked on building with earth, earth-woodchip mixtures and using squared, green, coppiced timber. I am at present exploring building with strawbales in a more logical and, I believe, more efficient way. I will report on this as it progresses.

I have a website (not updated since March 2008) which reports on my earlier work.

I am also practice organic, no-digging, permaculture on my land and I have recently discovered the value of Biochar in accelerating composting.
