READ MORE ABOUT:
Host Steve Thomas will help a Portland, OR couple build with local materials—and we mean really local! The couple is using wood from their own backyard to make a countertop and earth for their mud floors.
Later, Steve will help turn one New Orleans couple's Hurricane Katrina nightmare into a green dream. He'll lend a hand in building their new eco-smart, storm resistant home. Finally, Steve will answer the question—how many people does it take to screw in an energy-efficient light bulb?
