He talked about housing, one of the things I like to see about affordable housing is having a choice of tiny homes with recycled material and shipping containers. I personally wouldn't need a 1,000 sq. Ft. House. It would save on the destruction of the environment and it's wildlife. But with everything going up, you might not be able to afford that either.

The reason things aren't done differently in most things is because the most profits are made with the markets controlled as they are. But we can't stop talking about & doing other things that can be done, & things that are done in other countries. I remember how exciting alternative energy was in the 70s & people making money kept saying it couldn't be done for so long that people believed it & it wasn't developed. It seems it only will be now once the profits are locked down. But, we can't quit talking about what CAN be done. We can't let them take away our language, our ideas, our spirit, & what we know to be true. We can't believe it can't be done! It can.

Your right. We can't stop talking and thinking that it can't be done.

I like your idea. Also using straw bale or bamboo as building materials rather than wood would save a lot also including on the environment. There are many innovative ways of using recycled materials in building. Too many people want the same boring, cracker box look (little houses made of ticky tacky). & Don't use their creativity.

Thank you. Your absolutely right about what you said. I think people want new and different. There is so much we could do, like you said, with creating and thinking outside the box. Definitely help the planet as a whole.
