As we move into the twenty first century people have become more and
more aware of the need to conserve the resources of our planet. We try and recycle as
much waste as possible and we try and reduce the amount of energy we use. One way of
doing this is to reduce the amount of heat energy lost from our houses. A lot of work is also
being done to make the places where we live more ecologically friendly.
The
following photograph shows some houses built in the town of Langport in Somerset. The
houses face southwest to gain as much energy from the sun as possible.
