Brighton Earthship - sustainable from scratch?
.

The Brighton Earthship is a sustainable housing project in Brighton in which homes have been developed using a variety of materials, including used tyres. It angered one Brighton resident, however, who disagreed with the use of certain less-sustainable materials, such as steel for the building's roof. Steel production is renowned for being highly energy intensive. Listen to the audio to hear project manager Mischa Hewitt explain further. (0' 55")
