SEDGEMOOR is becoming home to a sustainable log cabin development and hundreds of new trees - all the result of a South West businessman's attempts to neutralise his carbon footprint.
With Britain becoming increasingly green, more and more people are trying to reduce and even cancel out their environmental impact, or their carbon footprint.
And Tim Stanley, a Bristol-based PR business owner, who deals with overseas property developers, is doing his bit by playing a key role in a new development at Chilton Trinity.
He has teamed up with Somerset businessman John Savage to create the 26-acre eco-friendly holiday village Lower Lakes on the edge of the Quantocks, and also planted more than 100 new trees to offset the carbon dioxide emissions of his frequent air travel.
John said: "(Lower Lakes is) a showcase of good sustainable design practice which sets new standards for the wider housebuilding industry to emulate."
Plans for Lower Lakes include the planting of hundreds of trees to enhance the environment and create wildlife habitats.
