'Build sustainably, live sustainably' -this is the message that the Somerset Trust for Sustainable Development (STSD) will be conveying during the Homes for Good Exhibition 2006.
Eco-living and sustainable building at exhibition
Visitors to the Homes for Good Exhibition 2006 will be able to view the most innovative and up to date developments in eco-living and sustainable building.
By hosting the Homes for Good exhibition each year since 2004, Ecos Trust has ignited and strengthened a mainstream market for sustainable materials, designs and services, which continues to grow, making it easier for the building industry and home owners to adopt greener building and lifestyle practices both in the home and at work.
Corina Reay, Homes for Good exhibition coordinator comments: "It is crucial that we are not just told why we urgently need to become more sustainable, but that we are advised how to go about it, and how we can fit it around our lifestyles and businesses.
"Homes for Good is about bringing sustainable experts together under one roof in a relaxed environment to exhibit, lead conferences and hold presentations.
This allows visitors to talk with professionals in person, whether they are interested in a very specific topic or have a general enquiry about sustainable buildings, gardens and greener day to day lifestyles.
It could be that guests want to learn about how they can save energy in their homes or at work, or that they want to find out about building, or living in an eco-home.
We look forward to welcoming people to Homes for Good, answering their questions and advising them on a range of sustainable issues".
A number of exhibitors at Homes for Good will focus on gardening sustainably by demonstrating to builders and developers how garden design and appropriate planting is beneficial during the early stages of development.
Professionals will give advice on a variety of practices, such as how to ensure that outside spaces are productive for owners, beneficial to wildlife and in some cases how they can be a source of external insulation to the building, improving its energy efficiency.
