What is Zerochampion?

I’ve been writing, thinking and try to act sustainably for three years. The blog is focused on green issues related to the built environment. Now my role is wider than just focused on sustainability it will also delve into other issues such as digital media and creating online communities. I’m about to undertake a refurbishment of a Victorian house, which should make for an interesting ongoing discussion. It may also highlight how much we can actually behaviour sustainably set against budgets, culture and ongoing habits. I continue to eat meat, out of season fruit and veg, buy too much stuff and fly more than I should. Or to put it more briefly: I’m a hypocrite.
