The Tiny Home Movement

The tiny home movement: a creative response to the US homelessness crisis

Gregory Kloehn likes to challenge people’s ideas of home. Since 2010, the Oakland, Californian artist, whose “dumpster house” was featured on the Rachel Ray show in 2012, has been photographing and studying all different kinds of homes. Kloehn is particularly fascinated by structures made out of simple tarps and cardboard boxes. So, a few years ago, he decided to try his hand at building a home out of other people’s trash.

The tiny house village in Seattle. The structures, which are funded by a variety of donors, cost about $2,300 to build, and the labor is often provided free of charge by students at local trade schools. Photograph: Courtesy of LIHI

Paris Agreement

How do you practically respond to the Paris Agreement?

It all starts with the capacity development at learner level, as well as ensuring that the necessary tools and supporting infrastructure is in place. For this project the objective was to change the behaviour of the learners towards solar energy and to drive an adoption for the use thereof. The younger learners had to colour in a picture depicting solar energy, while the older learners had to write a motivation which they then had to recite. The best entrants then won a solar light, this life changing device could then provide those learners who are still studying by candle light a safer and healthier alternative to lighting generated by fossil fuels. The other great benefit was that they could now charge their mobile phones.

Electricity Cost Savings

A grid-tied solar system was also installed at the Science Laboratory. In addition, this reduced the monthly electricity account and assisted the school to drive down monthly operating costs. This project was made possible by the Global Environmental Facility's Small Grants Program and administered by the UNDP.
