Building Sustainability Podcast
The majority of homes currently being built are bad for the earth, the occupants and the builder’s health.
Every fortnight, join Jeffrey Hart as he talks to with designers, builders, makers, dreamers and doers. Exploring the wide world of sustainability in the built environment by talking to wonderful people who are doing excellent things.
Whether you want to learn more about natural materials, are navigating your own self build, or just wanting to know that better alternatives are out there, this is the podcast for you.
