The Green Man

Once upon a time there was a young man living in a mobile home

On the top of his home he built a small wind turbine to give him all of his energy needs
Eventually he became the Lord of wind turbines in the whole of the kingdom, supplying green electricity to thousands of homes
He is now moving to this castle on a hill
The outside of his office is almost completely covered in a green Union Jack flag 
His original and quirky style continues in his showrooms where the windows are covered in cartoon graffiti illustrating green issues
The graffiti on the windows is changed every few weeks
The windows are difficult to photograph due to the showroom inside, and the buildings across the road being reflected in the glass. They are, however, great fun.
The moral of this story is - 
Mighty oaks from little acorns grow

  5. Someone said that something well done is its own reward, but it's nice when others notice and buy into the vision, too! Thanks for the modern fairytale.
