Summary:

Smaller, greener & more flexible homes are popping up everywhere. Find out what the mini home is. We'll make you sea sick with shipping containers. Get a tour of the Now House Project, a wartime home that is now a mean, green, energy-producing machine. When it comes to building our homes, bigger is no longer better. New homes after doubling in size in the 1960s are shrinking. Smaller, greener, more flexible homes are the new norm. After transport and agriculture, housing is the most resource-intensive industry in the Western World. A smaller home leaves a smaller footprint on the Earth in every measurable way. Fewer trees cut down, less earth bulldozed, less petroleum burned, less steel mined, and less use of every natural resource. As sustainability becomes more prevalent in our society, so too are eco-friendly living and working spaces. This program explores the rise of smaller, more flexible, and most importantly greener homes and shows you how to get the most out of your household water by reusing it.
