Country Living

Englishman Mike and air hostess Maxine recently relocated to the countryside for a clean, green life. However the WA$TED! team quickly discovers their lifestyle is anything but that: they throw out 97 bags of rubbish every six months, Mike commutes three hours each day to work and their beautiful villa holds some closet eco-crimes. With the help from the WA$TED! team, the Parrys will save $1200 in household bills every year (and another $280 once the solar kicks in) and reduce their household footprint from 130 to 87 times the size of their house. Although their footprint still sounds high, daily commuting from the country means their extra fuel usage will always have an increased impact on the environment.
