The Alternative Technology Association (ATA), publishers of ReNew magazine, have just released the second edition of Sanctuary magazine. From the blurb on ATA’s site:

Issue 2 features include: water saving apartments, sustainable kit homes, eco-friendly flooring options, recycle water in your garden and the latest sustainable products.

I picked up a copy of the first edition some time ago, and it’s an excellent resource for ideas and learning about sustainability in the home. It highlights what can be done when renovating, as well as building from scratch.

Having just moved into a new apartment where it takes an enormous amount of time for the hot water to kick in (we’re currently using buckets to recycle the excess water for plants, cleaning and toilet flushing), I’m particularly keen to read the article on water saving apartments.
