Sustainability equals a smaller footprint - small homes, small cars. These are too small for most people. And of course if they are used as a second home they increase our footprint - not decrease it.
| | For six years, Dee Williams has been living in her tiny Tumbleweed home and championing the cause for the Small House Movement. "I sold my big house and got rid of most of my stuff, limiting myself to about 300 things -- that was everything from heels and a toothbrush, a couple of dinner plates, and a two-ton jack. I then bought a set of plans from Tumbleweed. Four months later I had my tiny dream house."  "I have been living in the house for about a year now and absolutely love it. It is perfect for just one person, with the occasional visitor coming over for a cozy dinner around my tiny table. While most homeowners spend their own free time cleaning the house, my cleaning routine rarely takes 20 minutes. I am happy to have as much free time, friend time, and happy hour time as possible to myself!"
-Brittaney Yunker, Homeowner at 25 years old
