134: Sustainable living in the new paradigm with SG Blocks

As we embrace our new elevated lives, I think now is a perfect time to talk about a new and sustainable way of living through repurposing containers. About 15 years ago I used to subscribe to a rad magazine called Dwell. It was all about forward thinking builders, architects and engineers utilizing ingenuity to see housing and retail in a new way. At the time I was married and my then husband and I had a lake front piece of property in Kentucky. I wanted to build a container home on the property; unfortunately that never happened but I never lost site of the idea of living in more sustainable way! As we move forward, we are going to see a lot of shifts occur. Our financial system, education, government and even healthcare structures are all about to get a massive reboot. So what does this mean? What does this really look like?

I believe this means we are going to start going back to basics. I think we are going to see a rise in people leaving metropolitan cities and heading for the country - whether that be in the desert, the plains or in the woods, people are going to realize they need land and the ability to create sustainable ways to survive. They will also realize the importance of close communities that can help one another out. SG blocks is a way to build affordable housing from repurposed containers, and is now more relevant than ever as our world changes.

Today you're going to learn what container living is all about, where they come from, why living this way has many benefits and the best part, how extremely affordable it is to do!
