just how green are Wales's valleys, towns and cities?

One North Wales family of self-confessed enviro-sceptics is undertaking a life-changing experience by going to live in an extreme green community in Mid Wales. Just a few days into their new green world, the Davies family's new green dream is turning into a nightmare. They draw the line at recycling everything - including their own body waste. Will they go green or just go home?

I have watched 1, 2 and 3. A really good programme. Covers all the bases.

In 3, the rabbit scene was particularly illuminating. It showed quite how far from nature we have travelled (a wasted journey).

As recommended, I saw ep 1 of this on the iplayer. With a reality TV programme you never know what's real and what's not, but it seemed well done.

I was interested to see the young lad got quite into it, he seemed proud of his achievements (quite rightly). A problem with a culture that emphasises consumerism is that if someone hasn't got money to flash about they can feel like they're worthless. Definitely, if someone told me they’d built a chicken run or installed a bee skep, I’d be a lot more interested than if they’d said they’d bought the latest iPod.
