“Waste” wood used to heat Swiss villages
Switzerland may not have its own oil reserves, but it does have plenty of forests full of wood that could be used to heat houses. More and more villages are installing central wood furnaces, which distribute hot water to homes. (Julie Hunt, swissinfo.ch)

I have a wealth of experience as a journalist working in Switzerland and enjoy producing videos, articles and podcasts on a range of subjects, recently focused mainly on politics and the environment. Born in the UK, I studied law at Nottingham University, then went on to attend the first-ever post-graduate radio journalism college in London. After working as a radio journalist in the UK and then Switzerland from 1984 to 1995, I returned to the UK to complete a post-graduate diploma in film at Bournemouth Film School. I have been working as a video journalist ever since.
