In this episode, viewers follow a couple from San Francisco as they relocate to Melbourne, Australia in search of a more environmentally-friendly suburban lifestyle. The couple is excited to explore the city and surrounding neighborhoods, but in an effort to reduce their carbon footprint, they opt for a more rural setting just outside of the city.

The episode begins with the couple introducing themselves and sharing their concerns about environmental sustainability. They express a desire to reduce their car use and use public transportation instead, as well as finding a home with eco-friendly features. In the first scene, they are shown viewing several properties in the city center but are disappointed by the lack of green spaces and need for a car to get around.

Their local real estate agent suggests a more spacious, suburban area just outside of Melbourne, where they could find a larger home that fits their needs. The couple is apprehensive at first, but quickly become enamored with the idea of green living in a quieter area.

Throughout the episode, viewers are taken on a tour of several properties in the suburbs, including some with large yards, decks, and solar panels.

The couple is faced with a tough decision as they weigh the pros and cons of each property they tour. Some homes are closer to public transportation, while others have more outdoor space and a greater potential for reducing their carbon footprint. After much consideration and some help from their real estate agent, the couple ultimately decides on a beautiful, energy-efficient home with plenty of outdoor space and access to the nearby park.

The episode is a fascinating exploration of the evolving trend towards green living and sustainable lifestyles, as well as the difficulties that come with balancing individual needs and desires with environmental concerns.
