Build Smaller Houses

Q: How do I help the planet?
A: Build smaller houses.

"The most obvious way to conserve land, energy, and building resources, especially wood, is to build smaller houses. A smaller house uses less materials, and causes less pollution, at every stage...

"The Small House Society" has a web site

Small houses can be beautiful too as you can see from the design here in the picture of the interior of a small house in Finland

Author/architect Esa Piironen has written a book called "Small Houses in Finland" and this picture is from that book. Finland has a climate similar to Canadian climates and to conserve energy architects there design very stylish houses

Dr. Carson, environmental scientist,

I live with my family in Ottawa. My present research focuses on the use of Green Roofs for Energy Conservation. I teach at the University of Ottawa in the Environmental Science Department. In winter I skate to work on the Rideau Canal. I am bilingual and teach my classes in both English and in French. I conduct my research on the roof of the building where we live. I am so happy to be able to bring my work and my family life together in this way. I have two children, Toby aged ten and Samantha aged eight. At the weekends the children help me work in the roof top garden. If you don’t know about the energy conservation potential of green roofs you will find this very interesting and may want to incorporate the idea into your housing project (I’ll send you some info.)

My husband John works long hours for the government. When he gets time off work our family loves to go on hiking and canoeing trips. Although I am presently working on the energy conservation potential of green roofs I have worked on many other areas in the past including: indoor air pollution caused by certain building materials, and ground water pollution caused by toxins used in building construction. I have worked with construction engineers as an environmental impact advisor on a number of other projects. I am happy to share my expertise as an advisor on the Housing for Sustainable Living Project. I can send you info. on green roofs, pollution standards, procedures for experiments to test for pollution and lots more so let me know the direction your plans are taking.
