What if everyone lived in tiny houses? | Iris Shipley & Eve Greenwood | TEDxYouth@Columbus


hello my name is IRA Shipley and my name

is Eve gounod and together we have a

dream we hope that someday we will be

able to live in a tiny house of our own

and possibly own a business and I also

build a tiny house in my backyard this

summer today we have come to talk to you

about the question what if everyone

lived in tiny houses a tiny house is

most certainly not a dollhouse tiny

houses are small homes with an average

footprint of 180 square feet or less

they are usually mobile or attachable

toy truck or van the average size of an

american home is 2,600 square feet that

is so much more than a tiny house also

if we lived in tiny houses we would have

a very small carbon footprint a carbon

footprint is the amount of fossil fuels

you released when transporting goods you

might be constantly buying multiple

things that are from different countries

this would mean that you have a larger

carbon footprint if everyone lived in

tiny hats as we would not have space for

all these goods food have a smaller

carbon footprint for example it takes

seven full logging trucks getting off

woods above the average American home on

the other hand it only takes half of one

to get enough wood to build a tiny home

also if we were to continue our bigger

is better lifestyle we would be leaving

less and less space for animals to have

homes and food the mountain gorillas and

many other species are endangered

because of deforestation at first we may

not seem like it but this is because of

the large portions of lumber harvested

for the huge houses that we build in

addition to environmental importance

tiny houses allows to afford things much

more easily the tiny hats on average

costs about 23,000 dollars whereas the

average American home costs about

300,000 dollars also if we lived in tiny

houses heating systems cooling systems

and running water would cost much less

therefore they would not be used this is

because they would not be used as much

they would cost as low as 100 dollars

not only are tiny hats is cheap but they

are time and space manageable if you

were to clean our average size home it

would take you maybe like about four

hours at the least unless you’re very

good at cleaning if you were to clean

your tiny home it would take you maybe

even less than an hour this is due to

the amount of space when you own a tiny

house you unless period therefore you

Busta clean unless bahasa in conclusion

tiny houses are first that are for the

environment second affordable and third

time and space manageable please don’t

feel guilty if you have a large house

just help spread the word of the tiny

house movement and remember you know

that many more space and you need less stuff thank
