Ideas on the Verge is a collaboration with New Society Publishers and Verge Permaculture.

In this video I am speaking with Chris Magwood from the Endeavour Centre. Chris has been a natural and alternative builder for over 20 years and has built some of the most sophisticated buildings in North America including the first off-grid straw bale home in Ontario. Today we are talking about his book "Essential Sustainable Home Design" which details out how to go about planning and designing your very own sustainable home.
