| Newly built houses in Hampton |
Phil Newby practises what he preaches. The 38-year-old takes his work as an environmental consultant so seriously that he has embraced the zero carbon lifestyle by building an underground home. “I built it into a hillside,” he says. “It’s like a concrete box lined with lime and horse hair for insulation. I enlisted the local farmers to load 300 tons of earth on top, where I have grown a grass roof. I mow it with my Flymo.”
