#9: The 4 R’s
The very idea of the tiny house movement is founded on ideas of sustainability, minimalism, and living on a needs basis. And since Luke was building a tiny house, he had to stick by these rules. Through this project, Luke began realizing how much waste we all produce on a daily basis… Some which aren’t a waste at all!
Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle are the four R’s that many people live by in order to live a more sustainable life. Whether or not Luke intended to be a model citizen for sustainability, he ultimately became one after they discovered that his tiny house is made up of almost 75% of recycled materials. Not only did this save Luke a ton of money, but it was also in line with the general idea of the sustainability movement.
