Tiny homes have become a social movement we can’t ignore. People all over the world are choosing to downsize the space they live in for a happier life.
In the U.S., for instance, the typical American home is around 2,600 square feet, but the typical tiny home is only between 100 and 400 square feet. They come in all shapes, sizes, and forms, but they all have one thing in common: they allow simpler living in a smaller, more efficient environment.
People have joined this movement for many reasons, whether it be concerns over the environment or their own finances or the desire for more time and freedom. Most Americans spend one-third to one-half of their entire income on their homes, which means they spend 15 years working just to pay for it.
This has caused 76 percent of Americans to live paycheck to paycheck. But for what? People who turn to this movement are done trying to prove themselves. They just want a lifestyle that can make them feel good from the inside out.
The Cardboard Home
As mentioned above, tiny homes come in many forms. But have you heard of one made out of cardboard? While most people wouldn’t think this type of material to be suitable for building a comfortable and safe abode, award-winning architects have discovered how to use it to produce remarkably sturdy and reliable shelters. Dutch design studio Fiction Factory has created a design for a tiny “micro home” using cardboard. Complete with a multitude of applications, such as disaster relief, they claim it can last up to 100 years.
Called the Wikkelhouse, or “wrapper house,” the home is made of tough corrugated cardboard panels that adhere to each other with a non-toxic and environmentally-friendly glue.

How It Works
A large spindle is used to wrap the glued layers of cardboard around the dwelling’s pre-fabricated modular segments a total of 24 times. This makes for a well-insulated and strong structure. The 1.2-meter (47 inches) thick, 500-kilogram (1,100 pounds) modules are then combined and assembled to create a bigger structure that doesn’t require a permanent foundation.
As for keeping out the elements, the cardboard is coated with a waterproof, breathable film calledMiotex, and topped off with an open façade siding system of pine slats. So long as the coating is reapplied at least every 30 years, this style of home is thought to last for decades.
Easy And Eco-Friendly
This design makes way for an almost infinite number of layouts and a variety of sizes. The assembly of the home takes a mere day or two to complete, and the modules can be transported almost anywhere to be reused. They are also mostly recyclable.
Windows can be added on wherever you so please, and different areas such as a kitchen, bathroom and shower can be included using “smart home-segments.” The interiors are completed with plywood paneling for the walls to provide a naturally-minimalistic atmosphere.
The Cost Of A Wikkelhouse
Whole most people spend the bulk of their money just to live in their home, that’s not the case with this innovative style of housing, as each one costs approximately $4,500 USD. A completed version of a basic Wikkelhouse comes in at around $80,000 USD. Quite a bit cheaper and much more eco-friendly than a typical home, the idea is fascinating and provides just one more approach to the social movement away from bigger homes.
The company is currently working on an off-grid, more self-sustainable model, so stay tuned!

Chemtrails are Greatest Threat to Life on Earth-Dane Wigington
On August 3, 2016 In Political Analysis 160 Comments
By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com
Last month, CIA Director John Brennan admitted Chemtrails, or as he put it, “Stratospheric Aerosol Injection,” is established geoengineering science used to fight global warming. Geoengineering researcher Dane Wigington says if the government is admitting it, the negative effects of spraying are too big to hide much longer. Wigington explains, “When CIA Director Brennan has to address it publicly, clearly it’s getting very difficult for them to hide this elephant in the room and the damage it has done, not only to the environment, but to us. It is irreparable already, and they know the liability already. They know this. They also know the amount of liability that has been created. That’s why they have been so desperate to hide this. To put this into the nutshell, the amount of destruction these programs have caused environmentally, it’s contaminated the entire web of life. This is, mathematically speaking, the greatest and most immediate threat to the web of life on earth, including human health. It is greater than any other threat short of nuclear cataclysm. That’s a mathematical fact.”
Wigington is the founder of GeoEngineeringWatch.org and has teamed up with pro bono lawyers to sue the U.S. government to expose and stop the spraying. Wigington contends, “A 60 day notice has been put together by our team of U.S. attorneys to put all those potential defendants (which include Secretary of Defense Ash Carter and many others) on notice that this litigation is pending. They have been notified by certified mail, a 33 page 60 day notice . . . a very comprehensive document that outlines what they are doing, what laws its breaking and why this suit is being filed.”
Wigington goes on to say, “This is indisputable fact. What these programs have done, full deployment over 70 years ago, are breaching countless environmental laws and countless laws for protections of populations. This is an unbelievably egregious act and a willful assault on the population. It can’t be called anything else. It’s just been under the radar for so long because our completely controlled corporate media is doing everything they can to try to suppress this most important issue from the public as long as they can.”
The high ranking people in the scientific community have also been covering up chemtrails and geoengineering for decades. Wigington told one official via email exchange, “The wake up is real, and we have documentation to back up our accusations. Once the public finds out what’s been done to them, they will hold them responsible. Not just the ones who have done these crimes, but people facilitating these crimes by people helping to hide them like Marcia McNutt (President of the National Academy of Sciences). The public, at some point, would hold Nuremberg type trials. We are talking about ecocide and omnicide (extinction of human species). We are talking about a population that has been irreparably damaged by these programs. The heavy metals build up in our system, and they do immense amounts of harm. You can’t fix that, and once the population knows what’s been done to them, people . . . will be held accountable.”

I also asked Wigington about the reports of improving drought conditions in his home state of California. Wigington told me, “The drought in California is worse, and the notion that it is better is an absolute fallacy. Whole forests are being wiped out, and springs are drying up faster than ever before. High temps are being under reported by four or five degrees, and overnight temps are much higher than normal.”
