THE HEALTHY HOME
If you want to reduce your carbon footprint then insulating your home is a good place to start. “But if you decide that you want to reduce your carbon footprint further still and opt for a sustainable, natural, plentiful material, then sheep wool insulation ticks all the boxes.”
Unlike many other natural materials used for insulation – which range from to wood fibre and cork boards to flax and cotton – wool is a naturally recurring product. As we all know, sheep need shearing, and that produces the wool. Trees do not have to be felled for wood fibre and fields can be used to grow food instead of hemp.
