In June 2007, to the anger of many Brighton residents, developers arrived on land next to Anston House, Preston Road, Brighton and bulldozed about ten mature oaks and copper beeches which had Tree Protection Orders.
Soon afterwards, protesters set up camp on the land. I spoke to Colin West and Sandra Dunne, 2 of the protesters, to get their views.

Mischa Hewitt (http://www.lowcarbon.co.uk/) takes Andy on a tour of the Brighton Earthship.
Imagine a building that heats itself during the winter, cools itself during the summer, deals with it’s own waste, collects all the water it needs from the environment, is made from old car tyres, and looks beautiful - that’s an earthship.
You can see some great pictures of the Brighton Earthship at http://www.lowcarbon.co.uk/eb.html.
