Eco hero Howard Liddell

Sadly,  the world, the UK, and Scotland in particular has very recently lost a pioneering figure in ecological design and community planning.  Howard Liddell  (1945-2013) was a visionary and inspiring figure,  and his firm, Gaia, built many sustainable and revolutionary houses, and was involved in community projects both in Scotland and overseas . It is a very humbling experience to read the account of his life and achievements in the guardian obituary.  But it is also a very informative account of what has and can be achieved.
