The Domestic Directive

The Domestic Directive began when Sarah, David, Emily, and Mark — neighbors who kept borrowing each other's tools — got tired of eco-living advice that never mentioned the real cost, the failed first attempt, or whether a product actually delivered the energy savings on the label.

David, a master carpenter, started building and testing DIY weatherproofing and insulation projects in his own house and logging what actually cut his utility bill. Sarah, an energy auditor, could translate the utility-bill math for readers who just wanted a straight answer. Emily started buying and testing eco-branded home products herself rather than taking manufacturer claims at face value. Mark, who'd spent years in sustainable design, kept everyone honest about what 'sustainable' actually means versus what's just marketing.

Our readers want to lower their utility bills and environmental footprint without getting burned by a product or project that doesn't deliver — they want the tested number, not the marketing claim.
