The Hockerton Housing Project (HHP) is the UK's first earth sheltered, self-sufficient ecological housing development. The residents of the five houses generate their own clean energy, harvest their own water and recycle waste materials causing minimal pollution or carbon dioxide emissions. The houses are amongst the most energy efficient, purpose built dwellings in Europe. The houses are the focus of a holistic way of living which combines the production of organic foods, low intensity fish farming, promotion of wildlife, and the planting of thousands of trees.
