Private Notes
Host Steve Thomas visits a family whose house is powered by the sun and actually generates more electricity than it needs.
Steve then shows us a foam insulation made from sugar and corn, a counter top made of recycled glass and shells, and toxin-free golf balls.
Host Steve Thomas heads to Boston to help install a new energy efficient heating system including a super insulated envelope.
Later, Steve is off to Seattle where he tours a finished home drenched in smart-water technology.
Tonight, host Steve Thomas goes back in time to an 1830's farm in New Hampshire where he sees that the old way is the green way. Complete with a water-powered mill and oxen for logging, Steve only has one complaint: no power tools. Later, llamas help Steve mow a factory's lawn. Then, a driveway made out of seashells, by the seashore!
Today, host Steve Thomas discovers how dirt gets up to a green roof. Then, two geologists from North Hampton, MA turn to the earth and sun for all of their energy needs. Later, a new kind of siding called paulownia, a childproof mud wall, is explored and the finer points of selling a green house are discussed.
