1. ONE OF THE MOST toxic substances you can be exposed to during home renovations is the simple tin of house paint. In a world of “green” spin, a Perth-based paint manufacturer stands out thanks to its genuine eco credentials. Ditching the traditional chemicals and plastics used to make paints, Bauwerk Colour works with local limestone minerals, clay and natural pigments. The result? Low-VOC lime paints that minimise toxic load on the environment, your health and your home. Bauwerk’s lime paints and colours – think moody greys, earthy hues and jewel tones – impart softness, depth, texture and tonal variety on both indoor and outdoor surfaces. 2. The company’s paints grace walls from St Mary’s Cathedral in Perth and Rottnest Island’s heritage buildings to European Starbucks outlets and the Burberry…

STYLE UPDATE You may not know it, but some of your favourite decor brands have green leanings. Take Bonnie and Neil products for example: they’re made locally from linen, a biodegradable and recyclable material. Also, their latest collection is called Forest (that’s sort of “green”, right?).

It’s not for me to suggest that certain people could help out a planet in crisis if they would just put on any kind of warm clothing when the weather gets a bit cold, and maybe left the heater off for a sec or two – just to give the people of the Maldives a chance to hold on to their homes as the water comes a-lapping. It’s also not for me to tell people to hold off on turning their air-conditioning down to 17 degrees so they can light a log fire at a country B&B in early spring. It’s not my job. That’s what your kids are for. There’s nothing better than when your kids learn all about recycling at school and come home with their Al Gore…

THE ART OF SHOU SUGI BAN Shou Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese exterior siding technique that preserves wood, usually cedar, by charring it with fire. Burning the timber creates a protective layer, making the wood more resistant to fire, rot and insects, and preserving it for up to 80 years. After the timber is charred, it is cooled and cleaned, before it’s finished off with a natural oil. In Australia it’s commonly known as charred timber cladding and is available to buy so you don’t have to do the charring yourself. WHO LIVES HERE?

01 DETERMINE YOUR ENERGY USAGE Look through your energy bills and find out how much electricity you use and when you use it. A good solar panel supplier will help you with this before they quote you. If you only use a little bit of electricity, you only need a small system. 02 WORK OUT YOUR BUDGET Your geographical location, size and number of panels, roof access, height, material and type of panels determine the price. A rough guide has the smallest systems (2 kilowatt) priced from $3500, after subsidies, and the biggest (10 kilowatt) from $13,500. 03 FIND YOUR BEST ANGLE North-facing panels receive the most sun. If your roof is flat or on a steep pitch, you may need tilted frames to get the best angle for the sun. When…
