KT Tunstall is not only a musician with two hit albums - Drastic Fantastic (2007) and Eye To The Telescope (2006) - she's also deeply committed to living an eco friendly lifestyle. She loves environmentally-conscious fashion, doesn't own a car, tours in a bus that is run on bio-fuel and even owns a guitar constructed from old whiskey barrels that was custom-made for her by Talisker, a Scottish whiskey maker (and yes, she adores whiskey too).

Therefore it seemed only natural for her to live in an eco friendly home as well. Rather than purchasing a huge new house as many stars who have experienced her kind of success might do, she decided to renovate the London flat she shares with her boyfriend. The makeover used recycled radiators and wood, solvent-free paint, solar panels, spray taps, energy-efficient appliances and wall insulation made from sheep's wool (which reduces the need for air conditioning since it keeps homes cooler).

"I'm not out to preach, but global warming is the most important issue in our lives," she says. "It's not about changing the way you live in a radical way. Even small changes can make a difference."
