TINY HOUSE RESEARCH What is a carbon footprint? What are the advantages of living in a tiny house? What are disadvantages of living in a tiny house? What is the cost of a tiny house compared to the same space (sqft) in a traditional home? Is it worth it? Where are most tiny homes found? (region of the USA) How did the tiny house movement start? What other movements are related? What is sustainability? Why a tiny home and not an RV?
