Tiny House Movement

I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed the other day and saw an interesting post by one of my friends. I clicked on this post and learned about the Tiny House Movement. This was very interesting to me so I looked further into it, and there is actually a documentary being produced for this vary movement. You can watch the trailer here: Tiny House Documentary .

This way of living dramatically reduces your footprint, it empowers a simple way of living without having to build a mansion to enjoy your life. With the size of homes in america doubling, this movement is aimed at reversing this lifestyle. The house shown is only 89 square feet, that is smaller than my bedroom at home. You have to be very intimate with whoever you are living with for this to be comfortable. The couple kept referring to the world being their living room, with less costs and less maintenance time, these homeowners have more cash and time to enjoy themselves outside of their homes. Plus, the house is built on a flatbed trailer, so if you really want to go travel and enjoy yourself, your house can come enjoy it too.

There are many attributes to this home that would take some getting use to, if we are accustomed to the typical way of living in America. This will show you some of the adjustments made: Tiny House. One aspect that I am not sure I could adjust to is the composting toilet. I hope the smell is much different than an outhouse. The number one way to reduce your footprint is to simply refuse services or products, and tiny houses allow you to do that very successfully. So I commend all those who are able to live comfortably in tiny houses, I will have to think long and hard on whether or not I could muster up the courage to live in a house smaller than most rooms.
