University of Bolton - Defender of the Earth

Manchester United and England footballer Gary Neville is building the North West's first zero-emissions eco-home - and is getting some help from students. The full back wants to build a four-bedroom home into a hillside between Bolton and Bury. Seven built-environment students at the University of Bolton are drawing up ideas for a low-energy sustainable home after meeting with Mr Neville to discuss his plans. If their ideas make the grade, they could help shape the final building.
