I'm telling you, they have a delicious sense of humor, an enchanting accent, and some of the best television in the world. Alternative Energy Blog reports that a new show debuted last summer on the BBC called "No Waste Like Home."
Presenter "Queen of Green" Penney Poyzer managed to reduce one family's household waste by 94% in just two weeks. She also helped them reduce food wastage by 60% and heating gas usage by 63% (which wasn't hard as they heated their house 24 hours a day at 28 degrees centigrade!!!). She managed to save the family of five £419 ($753) in two weeks the equivalent over a year of over £10,000 (nearly $20,000).
Now this is reality TV with a conscience, and I dare say (though I haven't seen it) a sense of humor. Perhaps a local journalist looking to break into the national scene might want to mimic the idea? I'd happily volunteer my house!
