Small House Movement

The small house movement advocates living in small homes. Family size is shrinking while homes have grown in size.

There is a very good environmental argument for decreasing home size.  Smaller homes take less energy to construct, heat, and cool. Many of the homes proposed in the small house movement are too small for most people. But there are good solid reasons to reduce our footprint on the ground.
