http://www.whatgreenhome.com Launches to Provide UK's First
Online Guide to Buying an Eco-Friendly Home in the UK and
Overseas
LONDON, October
11, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to the growing concern over
climate change and the role people and their homes play in the
process,
http://www.whatgreenhome.com is launching to the
public on 1 October 2007 to provide a guide to buying an
eco-friendly home in the UK and overseas.
The site features
developments for sale around the world, including Spain,
France, Portugal, Bulgaria, South Africa, Thailand and the UK,
that have a green agenda and provides news, opinion and
features on sustainability issues. Whatgreenhome.com is
founded and edited by Gordon Miller, an experienced property
journalist, who writes for many of the UK's national
publications, including The Mail On Sunday, The Times, The
Daily Express, Channel4homes.com and A Place In The Sun.
The featured developments are
rated according to five key environmental areas: energy use,
building materials, waste, water and transport. New
developments are added on a regular basis and suggested
developments are welcome to be reviewed. The editorial
addresses the issues surrounding sustainable development in a
straight-forward way, explaining commonly used terminology for
example how sunlight can be harnessed to heat water more
efficiently whilst emitting less carbon dioxide (one of the
gases that contributes to climate change) than conventional
methods.
"In the last few years,
interest in green issues and especially climate change has
risen to the top of many people's agendas," says Miller. "Whatgreenhome.com
is aimed at those who want to buy a property where the
environment and sustainability are a forethought rather than
an after thought. The site cuts through the green wash that
clouds the subject and sets out to provide a clear explanation
of how eco-properties for sale measure up to increasingly
widely understood and accepted environmental criteria."
Gordon Miller is available
for interview. If you would like to contact him, please call
Sue Ash or Sandra Bradley on +44-(0)20-7734-5666.
