I DIDN'T KNOW THAT: GREEN SPECIAL

Richard Ambrose and Jonny Philips set up house together to investigate the hard nosed realities of living the green life.

While our politicians argue about the best way to save the planet, Richard Ambrose and Jonny Phillips set up house together to investigate the hard nosed realities of living the green life. Before you head for the DIY store, here's all you need to know about double glazing, wind turbines and light bulbs. But there's much more. They dig deep into one of Britain’s biggest land fill sites to get a worm's eye view of what’s really rotten. The pair also examine the pros and cons of wind turbines, marvel at a 200-hectare solar panel, take a turn on a solar-powered bicycle and explain the damage wreaked by leaving your electrical items on standby.
