Now, who WOULDN'T love an eco-palace?
Most of you know that I"m trying to live a greener life through small actions, whether it's trading in my car for one that's more eco-friendly, or researching ways to make the house solar powered. But, really, Prince Charles, you have gone above and BEYOND the call of duty! I love it!
Prince William, heir to the throne, has been the subject of frenzied
media speculation because of his relationship with Kate Middleton, a
commoner. Will they marry or won’t they—who knows? But just in case,
his father Prince Charles has been busy building them a £5M
“eco-palace” in Herefordshire. The little starter home, with six
bedrooms, five bathrooms, a dressing room, dining room, drawing room,
library, orangery and boot room will have solar powered heating, wood
chip boilers and insulation made of sheep’s wool. Floors, window frames
and doors are all to be made from oak, fir and larch wood from
Charles’s estate. An on-site eco-sewage works will filter waste through
a bed of reeds. An old sandstone quarry has been re-opened as a source
of stone. Oak has been taken from the Prince’s forest, to be used for
fencing and joinery. Slate for the roof is from Wales. The hedges and
trees are native, from the forest at Highgrove, home to Prince Charles.
Heir you are, son
