Mission Statement

Harry was a founder member of the Green Party in the UK in 1974. He wrote about the coming energy crisis, now with us in earnest, outlined methods of harvesting sustainable energy from the air, sea and land. These included windmills (he erected one near his house but had to take it down for planning reasons) wave and tide power and willow woodchip gas powered steam turbines.

He inspired Richard MacPhail to join with others and start the UK longest lasting energy saving consultancy, now in its 30th year. They developed software to estimate and optimize energy savings for the UK’s councils and private citizens alike. They can be reached at

Harry is now consultant on a number of Environmentally Sustainable building projects and is researching the possibilities of active solar heating and cooling for houses and institutions in Australia.

His current projects in this area include the Gryphon in Elwood (a sculptural house designed to challenge our view of the possibilities of city living), and an apartment/warehouse block in Fitzroy, as well as an experimental building he is completing in country Victoria.
