New PBS Show on Green Home Building

By HillaryJohnson

The swanky house you see here was built using $2600 worth of straw, and a few other things (steel, recycled wood, blue jean insulation, etc). The building process, start to finish, is the subject of a new PBS series, Building Green, which will be available to PBS affiliates to begin airing on June 5, and a companion website, of which I am the editor-in-chief (and a Curbly devotee).

Check out our site. The content is inclusive of everthing from high-end, contractor-driven stuff like framing and foundations, and more DIY-friendly ideas like earthen floors and the like. And if you'd care to leave me feedback and suggestions for how to improve the site here in the comments, I'm all ears!
