So, I've been in Toronto for a few days... Been in a first communion of the niece & nephew of my girlfriend (who is the reason that I'm here), been towed (due to the efficiency of the parking wardens - and the complexity of the parking signs; I'm sure they must have been english lawyers in a previous life), and started to look for a new home... Which is where the reason for this post started...
We were looking into Eco-style builds in the UK, which although isn't exactly a mature market, the awareness seemingly from estate agents and the public seems to be backward...
Although on saying that there is a green show that we'll be going to on Sunday, so I may have to eat my words - Green Living Show. And also we literally walked in on a new business that restored some faith that someone must be thinking a bit more environmentally (villagetechnologies) - unlike all of the 'cookie cutter' homes that seem to be appearing all around the outskirts of Toronto & all of the 'distinct' housing (castle look alikes, victorians, wainscotting etc).
So I thought I'd start writing this as I start to research what we're going to do about housing etc... (not to mention that everyone here drives a car, all of the cars seem to drive less mpg than their equivalent in Europe - which seems very perplexing...)
