The website contains news and information about their adventures, both during and after the filming.

From the website: "The information on this site covers all cars registered from January 1997 to date. The CO2 value for models being registered since March 2001 is derived from the First Registration and Licensing document. The authoritative CO2 emissions figure will also be shown on the vehicle registration document (V5) from March 2001. The value for vehicles registered before Janaury 1997 has been supplied by the manufacturers directly to the SMMT's Automotive Data Services (ADS). The value may change dependent on various factors including optional extras and tyre size." <a href="http://www.smmt.co.uk/co2/co2search.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.smmt.co.uk/co2/co2search.cfm</a> 2008-03-19T12:40+00:00 Website Administrator http://www.renew-reuse-recycle.com/showarticle.pl?id=2524 UK Government page about recycling at home: <a href="http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Environmentandgreenerliving/Wasteandrecycling/DG_064366" target="_blank">http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Environmentandgreenerliving/Wasteandrecycling/DG_064366</a> 2012-08-30T20:51+01:00 Website Administrator http://www.renew-reuse-recycle.com/showarticle.pl?id=691 This website contains links to articles, papers and other documents that planners will find of use when assessing planning applications for renewable energy developments and/or formulating planning policy in their local authority. <a target="_blank" href="http://www.planningrenewables.org.uk/cgi-bin/resource.cgi">http://www.planningrenewables.org.uk/cgi-bin/resource.cgi</a> 2007-04-10T08:40+01:00 Simon http://www.renew-reuse-recycle.com/showarticle.pl?id=12 Directory of environmentally-minded business and consumer services. <a href="http://www.ecobusinesslinks.com/">http://www.ecobusinesslinks.com/</a> 2006-04-21T14:23+01:00 Stuart http://www.renew-reuse-recycle.com/showarticle.pl?id=278 The Energy Saving Trust encourages energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energy sources into the economic fabric of our society.

Project members live a holistic way of life in harmony with the environment, in which all ecological impacts have been considered and accounted for. The residents of the five houses generate their own clean energy, harvest their own water and recycle waste materials causing no pollution or carbon dioxide emissions. The houses are amongst the most energy efficient, purpose built dwellings in Europe. <a href="http://www.hockertonhousingproject.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.hockertonhousingproject.org.uk/</a> 2006-10-20T10:39+01:00 Simon http://www.renew-reuse-recycle.com/showarticle.pl?id=7 A great collection of articles by Mike Sagrillo who seems to know more about small scale wind than most.
