| Summary |
"[Program is] pioneering and entertaining...with an eco-friendly twist, on a mission to inspire viewers to discover just how easy, cost-effective and healthy it can be to go green, and to dispel myths about environmentally-conscious lifestyles...Follow the step-by-step construction of Kevin's green dream home in Santa Barbara, with practical advice and expert guidance on a range of topics like straw bale construction, breathable paints, blue jean insulation and much more...The final result is a Zen modernist house that is not only earthquake safe and energy efficient, but an exquisite example of the art of the eco-possible." - Container |
