Let’s face it, building a LEED certified dream home is not in every environmentally conscious consumer’s future. But instead of settling for a track home, consider, for a moment, one of Jay Shafer's custom designed alternatives. They are inexpensive, well built, and will drastically reduce your home’s carbon footprint. I say drastically because Shafer’s Tumbleweed Tiny Houses range from only 75-600 square feet. In a recent quote Shafer said his own Tiny House only uses about $3 worth of energy a month.
A few favorites after the jump.

Epu
At about 100 square feet, this is the original model that Shafer called home. We’re talking extreme space efficiency here.
Enesti
This tiny cottage can house up to four. It is the largest of Shafer’s house plans at 600 square feet.

Style meets design. With a living room that looks out three floor-to-ceiling windows, 300 square feet will not feel cramped.
