We're talking downsizing of the dwelling kind. Whether for economic or situational reasons, moving to a smaller space will almost always mean a smaller environmental footprint. Not to mention less cleaning, less rent/mortgage, cheaper utilities, and less stuff to keep track of, store, clean and insure.Though having a large home is still a bizarre ego thing for many, the rest of us ask, do we really need all this space? Do we really want to buy things just to fill it? How much time could we save on cleaning if we had less to clean?
Less responsibility, less work, more money and more flexibility? Together, we're talking less stress! Space restrictions offer opportunities to be creative, and hey, if there's no room for guests that might be okay with you too.
