### Just received from a consultant with good green credentials

> “Sky Television is planning to televise – and promote massively – a community design competition that will feature the design and delivery of three new tree-houses that are popular, sustainable and hopefully in slightly counter-intuitive locations. The idea is that the treehouses are designed by communities, with support from an expert designer and are largely constructed from salvaged or locally and sustainably harvested material.   
>  
> An official ‘call for project’ will be issued soon. However, in advance I am looking to make contact with different communities to check feasibility.  
>  
> Although somewhat eccentric, I believe this competition could act as an ‘accelerator’ for a project already in the pipeline – helping to find resources and transform a space and make things happen faster than they otherwise would. I also believe that given how creative & action minded the the Transition Town’s communities are, a sustainable community treehouse project might very be ‘just right’ for a number of them.”
