Don Shelby Gets Energy Efficient In His Own Home

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Former WCCO-TV anchor Don Shelby has been a long time promoter of saving the environment. Now his house is a reflection of his passion.

Don and his wife Barbara built a top energy efficient, country farmhouse. It's only one of its kind with all three kinds of LEED certifications using materials from an existing house that once stood on the property.  They say they wanted to build a home with little impact on the environment. He gave WCCO-TV a tour of his home on Thursday.

You can check out Don's living space at the upcoming Parade of Homes which runs March 3rd through April 1.

Check out the video above for the tour.
