In-Class Assignment (2)

Type your response to the following prompt. Follow all normal formatting requirements (12 pt. Times New Roman, double-spaced, one-inch margins. Don’t skip extra lines between paragraphs). Write your response in paragraph form, with at least 18 lines for full credit. Consider this as freewriting—I’m not so concerned here with grammar or structure, just that you write at least 18 lines and answer the questions asked below.

Read pages 895 - 891.  Answer the question that Professor Wilson asks:  Can you have a good life on much, much less?

What would be some of the things you would be willing to do to minimize your environmental impact or life more sustainably?

What are some of the ways that living in a tiny house can help to reduce our environmental footprint?

What are some of the ways in which we might connect more with people by only returning to our homes as it is necessary (mostly only to sleep)?

Finally, why do you think the cost of housing has become quite so high?

Answer all of these questions, but this should give you plenty to write about.
