Mount Maunganui architectural designer Adam Taylor could offer you snippets of advice on how to make your home more sustainable at this weekend's Down to Earth Sustainability & Lifestyle Expo.
The expo will be the first of its kind to the Bay of Plenty and will feature more than 100 stands that will give you the options you need to create a healthier home.
Adam Taylor, a licensed building practitioner, said that with his profession he was able to do his part for the environment. "It's no different from someone walking down the street and picking up a piece of rubbish and putting it in the bin. They feel good about themselves. That's what it comes down to for me.
"If everybody could take their area of expertise and try to be a little bit better by being conscious of the impact we are making, the whole world would be better for it."
Mr Taylor said there were several little things which could help make a home more sustainable.
