Greenbuild's Most Wanted

Footballer Gary Neville has failed in his bid to build an eco home after planning permission was turned down this week. According to the Daily Mail, Neville spoke passionately about his desire to create an energy-efficient dwelling for a whopping 90 minutes (perhaps that's the only timeframe he's comfortable with), but his enthusiasm wasn't enough to convince the good folk of Lancashire that the project wouldn't adversely affect the green belt.
Anyone who can speak passionately about a subject (and coherently, let's hope) for 90 minutes is going on my just-created list of most-wanted contributors for the website. It's called Greenbuild's Most Wanted. It could also be called Greenbuild's Most Unlikely, as I don't think even my powers of persuasion will be enough to bag any of these as contributors:
  1. Gary Neville (see above).
  2. Al Gore. Definitely beyond my budget.
  3. Daryl Hannah.She appears to be completely bonkers but clearly can't be accused of greenwash.
  4. Bill Bryson. He's president of the Campaign to Protect Rural England and one of the few writers to make me laugh out loud.
So, who else should I be putting on the Greenbuild's Most Wanted list? Do tell.
