Alternative Housing
The world is full of inspiring innovators helping us face a global housing shortage. At Sustainable Living, we will help share these ideas, and create more alternative sustainable housing. Earthships, cob houses, tiny homes and more, learn what options are available for you and how you can help update archaic laws that are hindering housing solutions.
Housing - A Global Crisis with a Solution
Global immigration has shown that a new era of pioneering is a necessity of our time. Our current housing cannot sustain the amount of people in need of shelter. In the past, overpopulation and other causes led to migrating to new lands in hopes of building a life. While pioneering on raw land was, and still is challenging, hard work, we now have modern technologies and a knowledge of sustainable farming practices to work with nature. We also have an over abundance of used manufactured materials available that need to be reused. Tires used for rammed earth in walls of earthships would be an example of this.
Policy makers need to update laws to accommodate land required for the new wave of pioneers, and the building laws that restrict alternative housing.
Earthships
Recycled Eco friendly Housing
An American Architect, Mike Reynolds, has been working for decades to create sustainable housing. He has made an impact globally helping teach others how to build sustainably themselves. Learn more about Earthships and how you can help support alternative housing.
Tiny Homes
Bare Necessities for all you need in life
Tiny Homes are perfect for anyone still wanting a modernized home, in a compact version. Living in a tiny home is living a sustainable lifestyle. They help you direct your focus to living your life, rather then gathering many possessions and upkeeping a home large enough to hold them all. They are a far more efficient way to live and can be moved in case of emergency.
Cob Houses
Eco friendly, Natural Homes
Cob Houses are built from natural materials found in the local environment. Typically a mixture of sand, clay, straw, these materials allow for individuals with chemical sensitivities to live a healthier life.
