small-medium actions

Filip lives in the downtown Brussels area in a rented apartment. The apartment is big and he rents out one part of his home. As often a problem with rented homes, there are very few concrete large scale changes that can be made without a very conscious landlord. Nonetheless, Filip has made his home with lower impact by using a green energy company, owning only second hand or self made furniture, using energy efficient appliances and more.

Tom bought a 2-floor house from 1875 in the fall of 2010. The house was in a bad condition, missing windows, leaking roof, damp, and the previous owners had burned their heating fire directly on the ground.
To Tom this was a positive thing. He could then renovate the house without having to throw away useful but unwanted items.
Less than a year later his home is taking shape and he has made a bunch of ecological decisions for it.
