My name is Jay Shafer and since 1997 I have been living in a house smaller than some people's bathrooms.... My decision to inhabit just 100 square feet arose from some concerns I had about the impact a larger house would have on the environment, and because I do not want to maintain a lot of unused or unusable space. My houses have met all of my domestic needs without demanding much in return. The simple, slower lifestyle my homes have afforded is a luxury for which I am continually grateful.

So begins the 'About' page on tumbleweedhouses.com. Jay has created an ultra-cool portfolio of tiny house designs - some are even on wheels, and none look too hard to transport!

Jay raises a good point above - in regards to maintaining "a lot of unused or unusable space". If you're considering a serious carbon footprint reduction, swing over to Jay's site for a look. At bottom of his 'About' page you'll also find a great links section to other sites with all you'd ever want to know about living small.
