Special Interests: It has been repeatedly demonstrated that all buildings can generate rather than waste energy, recycle water, and be healthy environments with plenty of sunlight and fresh air. This should not be simply an option for those who can afford it, or who are willing to commit to a drastic change in lifestyle. The sun, the wind, and the rain are here for everybody. It is ludicrous to continue designing buildings that require air conditioning and too much heating. Selah.

Buildings should work with natural systems rather than simply resisting them. They should act to provide comfort without downstream costs to the environment. While he waits for everything to realise "sustainable design" is just good design, Anthony eats, drinks, paints and tries to defend his front yard vegie patch from the local pumpkin snatchers.
