The tiny home revolution for affordable living | Dwayne Jones | TEDxMemphis

Energy efficiency has become a key component of many political platforms and you can't turn on the news - or go to the grocery store - without hearing about the significant increase in the cost of living for all Americans that can be largely attributed to factors such as increased consumer goods pricing and housing market trends. But what if more families had the opportunity to be a homeowner and have a sustainable food source? This talk discusses the opportunities of affordable housing that reduces the carbon footprint and can put more money back in the the pockets of community stakeholders.
