Net-Zero Staycation
conscious living

After a long journey, there's nothing more satisfying than returning home. On this episode, we celebrate the joy of staying put, while transforming our midcentury desert home into a net-zero oasis. With countless days of sun, temperatures topping 115 degrees, and A/C bills through the roof, Michael dons his toolbelt to see if we can harness solar energy to power our home yearround. Bianca takes a break from the action to hop on her electric bike for a vintage fashion show at a local art gallery. But first, breakfast. Michael kicks off the staycation with hearty vegan recipes from the farmer's market: a no-egg omelet and a cheezy sausage breakfast sandwich.

Duration: 28 minutes and 58 seconds
