What's it like living a "sustainable" life?

Graihagh Jackson meets people who've taken drastic action to cut their carbon footprint. What can we learn from them? And what are their lives like?

As governments and industry find ways of reducing emissions to keep climate change under control, some people are taking responsibility for their own carbon footprints.

In this episode, Graihagh Jackson explores some different ways of living a green life – from setting up an eco-friendly commune in Denmark, to making small adjustments to our lifestyles in cities such as London. Graihagh also talks to one of the UN's top experts on the social aspects of fighting climate change: what's the right balance between action by individuals and action by governments?
