Are you aware of your 'eco-footprint'? Dick Strawbridge and his family decided that they needed to reduce theirs - this meant reducing the amount of land, water and other natural resources required to support their lifestyle.

To accompany the BBC2 TV series, this book chronicles the Strawbridge family's journey from a perfectly normal life and house in the Midlands to a self-sufficient environmentally friendly dream home in the West Country.

Written by the flamboyant, moustachioed, eccentric presenter, Dick the Colonel Strawbridge, this book is an inspiration to people thinking of becoming eco-friendly or even just a bit greener.

While attractively designed, with specially commissioned colour photos and screen grabs, it will also be full of practical advice, with essential addresses and contact details at the end.
