Sống Tối Giản Trong Nhà Tí Hon 9m² Ít Tiền Nhiều Tự Do Hơn

Just toss your food waste here—it goes into this stomach where bacteria break it down And the byproduct of their digestion process is biogas I use biodegradable soap Safe for household wastewater I have a chain of water-diverting hoses Water flows in and out of this barrel continuously And then it's stored right here This is a fully enclosed composting toilet system All you need to do is cover it And then there was no scent left at all Instead of buying toilet paper I grow toilet paper right here And that’s all my life is now abou Reducing the number of ways we have to work due to inertia Hi I'm Rob Greenfield Welcome to my tiny home In Orlando Florida This tiny home is about 9 square meters in size I built it for under $1 500 using about 99% recycled and reclaimed materials all while keeping costs low Building inspections generate only about 13 kilograms of waste so today I'll take you on a tour of daily life My simple introduction And let me show you what my place looks like As you can see 9 square meters is quite small—it's just 3 meters by 3 meters—and some of you might be thinking It's just a warehouse isn't it And basically I designed it It looks like a warehouse Let it remain within basic construction standards The most important thing is the bed Most of my life is spent outdoors And here it's truly just a place for comfortable rest beneath the bed is where I keep my basic belongings A large part of this place's function is truly for food—it 's used for storing and preparing food and similar purposes On the other side This is a bountiful harvest from my fermentation bed This is the fermentation area I'm making sun A drink similar to kombucha Apple cider vinegar or apple wine honey wine and similar items Here I have a bookshelf filled with numerous books on sustainable farming and living And then if we move over here there's even more food The project I'm currently focused on Is a year of growing and harvesting 100% of my own food And thus That’s truly at the heart of everything I’ve been doing here in Orlando over the past two years So therefore This is fruit and vegetables that I harvested from my garden and by foraging Up here is honey from my bees I harvested about 34 kg of honey somewhere around that amount this autumn I don't have much in the way of possessions and I aim to live quite simply This is all my clothing On this rack And then some basic household items I built this table myself from leftover materials after constructing my house And the pallet wood —99% of this house was built using reclaimed materials and recycled components for example the flooring I used came from From a house that had been flooded And here are the things they planned to discard My door was made from leftover wood And so was the floorboard The wall I used came from a handicraft project that had leftover materials one thing I should mention is the house Not yet 100% complete Still a bit of work left unfinished But good enough to let you See this place What truly matters is my freezer full of food This year I'm growing and harvesting 100% of my own food So this is something extremely important—essential for storing large amounts of food—and that brings me to electricity My original plan here was to live off the grid just as I did in my first tiny home in San Diego But with this project I feel that completely relying on the power grid isn't quite right And I only use about 100 dollars worth of electricity each year so since I'm only here for two years installing a large solar energy system doesn't make sense There's no need for it here—when I'm using such a small amount of electricity all I have is a single power cord running from over there This plot of land It's almost the entire interior of the house It's quite simple There isn't much to say about it Most of my time is spent outdoors— in the garden within my community —so let's head outside I really like having an outdoor kitchen because I enjoy being outside and besides when I spill something on the ground it's no big deal They just soak right in—meaning much less cleanup required—this kitchen was built using leftover materials Building that little house And I have a light that runs up here Quite simple It has a battery But I can charge using my small solar panel or I can charge indoors Actually I have four ways to cook The first way is The first method is non-renewable The remaining three methods are renewable energy sources The first method Simply involves using a basic camping gas stove I'm trying to completely eliminate it in order to fully utilize alternative energy with the main replacement being the home Bioga biogas stove This actually converts food waste into methane gas which can then be used for cooking and I'll show you how it works Monday is a solar oven— powered solely by sunlight something we have in abundance perfect for cooking meals And the third one over there is My cooking fire If I'm preparing a large quantity I have a 19-liter pot You can place it right here This is the Bioga system It functions like a human stomach You can imagine it like this When we eat One of the byproducts generated is gas Naturally So how can you trap that gas And actually using it for something good How it works is simple You just put food waste into it I collect a lot of food waste from a local restaurant Just toss the food waste in here It goes straight into this stomach There are bacteria in there and the byproduct of their digestion is gas—the thing above is a gas-filled sac It is compressed to push the gas downward and just behind it there is a pipe running through the kitchen and directing the gas to the stove Another wonderful byproduct of this system is a bucket full of nutrient -rich fertilizer perfect for the compost pile This is the wash basin It's extremely simple This is a 208-liter drum Located at the back It collects rainwater And then the water flows down by gravity I use biodegradable soap—safe for household wastewater—so this water doesn't need to go to a sewage treatment plant Instead what happened was it flowed down the drain through a pipe that led straight out behind there and beyond that I have banana trees A plant that truly loves water That's why this wastewater All water passing through the sink Do not leave this place for the waste treatment plant Instead Also at the back I have my compost bin The real reason I love my compost bin Placed right there That's because I can stand right here tasting the food making it highly accessible generating very little waste—just a small amount of actual waste I do produce I only put it in the trash bin for this plot of land but mostly food waste—paper from the street hardened by rain— all of those things They can all go straight into the compost bin and turn into organic fertilizer used for growing food instead of becoming someone else's problem And here's my drinking water filter It's a remarkably impressive system called Bucky capable of filtering rainwater water from lakes and rivers or even city tap water I have rainwater barrels right here behind the house I just need to place a container here and then my rainwater is purified Taste delicious and amazing to dr Collecting rainwater is very easy—by no means complicated Water simply flowed down the roof into the gutter instead of using a downpipe I had a chain of water-diverting links Water just flows into this barrel and is then stored right here—really that simple I have several barrels And they're simply connected by a pipe—this could be the most exciting part of the facility I'd love to show you This is a fully enclosed composting toilet system You have two toilets This one is for urinating And this one is for defecating The urination toilet is just a bucket A 20-liter bucket underneath is filled with water It's used for about one day And essentially the urine is diluted According to a ratio of about 10 to 1 the water was then simply poured onto the fruit trees and around the roots And similar items for growing food The part that goes into this The way it works is you simply sit down Just like any other toilet After finishing instead of flushing water you simply add sawdust to cover it—then surprisingly All you need to do is cover it up and then there won't be a smell anymore Instead of buying toilet paper I grow my own right here This is called the Blue Superflower toilet paper it belongs to the mint family has a very fragrant scent its leaves are soft yet strong and it's absolutely wonderful So this is then also composted the compost goes into these 210-liter drums where it's fermented for one year To become completely safe and then used for fruit trees for growing fruit Thus this is a fully closed-loop composting toilet system causing no issues whatsoever for anyone else And instead it also creates fertility since the landlord's roof is much larger so I also collect rainwater from their roof I have two tanks holding about 1 000 liters of water which is used to irrigate the garden fill the bathtub and for washing in the sink This is my bathroom right here The setup is quite simple I have a 20-liter bucket down here Where I fill it with water And then Just scoop it up And quickly rinse with this small handheld lotus bath Under the rain I'll admit I really love rainwater For me bathing with rainwater is one of the most wonderful ways to bathe A bit more about transportation Regarding how I get around I don't have a car or a driver's license I have a bicycle And I used it to get almost everywhere I needed to go in Orlando and I also have a bicycle remote which can reach So I can use it to carry lots of garden supplies tools or large food deliveries and I can also use it to transport furniture The material used to build the house And things similar to that And finally Let's head over to the garden One of the most common questions I receive is Do I own this piece of land How did I come across this land Did I pay rent for it What I did was negotiate the job with the landowner I met someone who always wanted to live sustainably someone who had wanted a setup like this It's been twenty-five years now and in exchange for building my little house on her land over these past few years— I'm helping her achieve that dream And then Everything I create from now on Will belong to her in the years ahead I'm helping her grow her own food I turned the entire front yard into a garden And this little house After I left It will be hers to use as she wishes so this is truly an exchange not a mere financial transaction We don't engage in monetary transactions instead we focus on how we can collaborate to meet each other's needs And that is all my life has been striving for: reducing the ways we must work for money Instead How can we work together to help one another So much is happening here And I can't possibly fit all of it into one video but if you're interested in living a better way for the planet and your community And it's you That I'm here to serve And there will be many more videos coming soon If you're inspired And learned something from this video I truly encourage you to subscribe to the channel and stay connected I love each and every one of you so much See you all again soon Oh one more thing to mention This is a small footstool I made for sitting on the toilet—people know that elevating your feet at this angle makes passing stool much easier Anyway I just want to mention that for a moment—wishing you all a wonderful day If you
