Retrofitting the Suburbs

On Thursday last week I had the pleasure of hearing David Holmgren speak at the Wheeler Centre on Retrofitting the suburbs for sustainability. It was an event that definitely made the participants think about what we could do.


Here is the video of the talk, only 20 minutes but packed with thought provoking insights.


A longer version (10 parts) of the talk is on YouTube, but this is some years old now. The video above is the updated version for the Wheeler Centre event: Part 1 http://youtu.be/2cjhQWdbqE4

An interesting book (just out, February 2012) on the topic is Making your home sustainable A Guide to Retrofitting by Derek Wrigley
