Book Synopsis'Zero Carbon' is an abstract concept for most people, but we have lived energy-profiligate lifestyles for too long on finite fossil-fuel resources. We now face potential environmental catastrophe from climate change and global warming, with a continuing exponentially expanding global population that doubles every four decades.

One way of helping to achieve this is to live in a zero-carbon house, and this will become legislation in the UK for new homes by 2016.
