Greening Up the Places We Call Home

Season 12 Episode 1212 | 26m 46s

Growing a greener world isn’t something that happens in the garden alone. Living more in concert with our environment has to extend to the places we call home, too. We’ll go off the grid to take a tour inside one next-gen home that was constructed almost entirely out of repurposed materials, and then visit a unique suburban subdivision that puts nature first.

Aired: 10/03/21
