"At Happy Earth, we’re on an adventure in urban sustainability, exploring how we can retrofit a typical house and lawn into a healthy, efficient home with an abundant food garden. For us being sustainable is really about living happier, healthier lives and feeling good about doing things that are good for us, the planet and our community. It’s about wholesome food and lower bills, meaning more time for family and friends, and less time working."

In 2004 we renovated our 80 year old three bedroom Californian Bungalow in Concord, NSW. A large amount of thermal mass was added to the northern end via a concrete slab & an internal double brick wall. This was complimented by high levels of insulation, including double glazed windows, plus strategic shading and adjustable cross flow ventilation. The house is disconnected from the local water authority for both supply & sewerage collection and uses harvested rainwater for potable purposes plus on-site treated black water for flushing toilets & washing clothes.
