When I first clicked on this video I was like, "No way!!! Dr. Pfeiffer!?!?!" It is so cool that you showcased your bus! You are truly an inspiration! I hope to have an awesome bus conversion like you some day! :D
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Why so much hate for this woman who is living the live she wants. What are you doing to contribute to this world. There is already too much hatred in our societies, why spread it even more when you can embrace empathy and compassion for one another. Get a life
I was thinking the same thing! It is so refreshing to see so many people change the way they live because they want to be the example and not preach about it! I love it! For me becoming a highly raw vegan was number one! I am on to number two and 3 now! I live on six acres and have planted my garden and fruit trees! Step 3, cobb/earthship home and solar panels!
Eileen Bunetta wow that is so interesting and impressive! I am curious though, in which country do you live to afford six acres or do you still work full-time?
Genghis Chuan this lady isn't actually living carbon neutral, and I agree, her virtue signaling is annoying. However, climate change is real. Fossil fuel use is the greatest contributor. Companies like Monsanto often do terrible things, and agriculture does contribute to climate change, but it is not the leading cause. Is there a type of proof that would convince you? Tell me what you'd need to see and I'll see if I can find it.
Damn. Instead of analyzing the woman and trying to prove that she's wrong somewhere or makes a footprint on this earth: Ask yourself first: What are YOU doing to protect the planet? Do YOU try to reduce your waste? Do YOU try to buy less stuff? Don't judge people, be inspired and make it better if you can. I like her story.
Phlow-even though I don't believe in the conventional climate theory. . .I agree with you about being judgemental and trying to prove other people wrong we all should live our lives the way we want to and not belittle others thank you for your opinion.
Phlow She isn't a scientist! she's an idiot in charge of kids... filling their heads with absolute rubbish and lies! You are as stupid as she is, clearly!
Dilly Dally oil isn't "fossil"fuel! no such thing! THAT is THE oil industry scam supreme! The Russians discovered this in the 1950s... (don't believe me tho'.... look for yourself.)
One of the best decorated design and color palettes I've seen. I absolutely love the way you decorated your bus. It's bright, airy and full of life. I absolutely love it.
Awesome video! So inspiring! I am retiring and heading out in my van next Spring for a solo cross country trip. Looking forward to being closer to the earth and meeting new people! Thanks for all your great videos!!
I've thought every single time that I have ridden on the shuttle bus how I would convert one into a tiny home. She has turned hers into a beautiful home. She does own a lot of things though. Looks like it is hard to move around in.
..and today's van and tiny home vagabonds and nomads often drop out of college or claim college is a waste. ha! this woman is proof that education and spiritual ecological minimalism experience not things mentality can co-exist, but not only that, she LIVES her education. she is absolutely an inspiration. if i had my three degrees to do over, i would have majored in architecture and did my masters in agriculture.
Dylan, I'm gonna be living in a van after film school. Thanks for all these inspiring videos. I already daily vlog and will continue to daily vlog when I live in the van
Nice channel by the way! Will have to check out more of your edits when I have time! Been living the van life for 11 months all over washington, oregon and cali. Have fun!
This was so inspiring to watch! And I love that she’s at least trying to do what she preaches - not many people do that even if they are aware. I think what she meant by a “carbon-neutral” lifestyle is not that she produces zero net carbon, rather she minimizes carbon produced in life and then plants trees in Indonesia to make up for her “remaining” emissions. Of course she knows as an ecology professor her van transportation produces carbon. Enough with the critics - let’s try to move our own lifestyles 1% more towards carbon neutral in our own capacities.
Thank you for first making this video, Dylan.. Then a big thanks to Jeanine, for showing her bus and part of her life. Her idea to just move her one room apartment into the bus, gave me a sense of relief. See I also live in a bus, and other than my full size bed, I have not nor am I able to build anything else. Now I'll just purchase the "things ", I can't build myself. Example: (a small sink & cabinet set) Thank you! Her bus (home) is great!!
It's about taking Responsibility to do one's best, with making a difference, while we are here! I applaud anyone who is doing that. ~ Those who spout off, negatively pointing out irrational redundancies, are usually the very ones seeking to deflect from their own personal responsibilities.
I graduated from San Jose State! I live in Santa Cruz. Your home is absolutely beautiful! And I love how you're teaching such a crucial subject to young minds. You sound like an amazing lady : )
Gotta love the #Vanlife! I admire her for a lot of things Jeanine is up to! Keep the good vibez going! Been living the vanlife for 11 months myself and cannot say too many bad things about it! Has changed my life, perspectives and financials a lot! Keep on moving people!!!!
I would say that that van is too full BUT it is HER van and if she likes it that way, let her be. She is happy so there is absolutely nothing to change! Great work!
I love how you always incorporate little take away pearls of wisdom towards the end of each video. Thank you for all of this, Dylan! I am thinking about living in a van when I go back to home to Washington state after nursing school while I pay off all my debt and I get so inspired every time I watch your channel.
I love your bus/Home! I am in the process of locating a vehicle to convert similar to yours! I love how it looks more like a home than an RV! Good job!
It is amazing who much living you have created in such a small physical space. Prayers for safe travel and much adventure. Also being able to teach at such a prestigious school.
Like the way she did the screen yet kept the windows open that is pretty smart. Induction with pressure cooker is the way to go but she can also give it a go with solar cookers . Don't have to cook things that are expensive I would solar cook things like whole potatoes onions bread. Reason I say low cost things it you set it away from your ride you don't worry so much about losing a little low cost food. Best to have a group of people go in with cooking. For me it is all about the money and being off grid you can keep the carbon calculations to me that is like going to the beach and starting to count the grains of sand on the beach? You are there to enjoy the beach not to audit it.
Clearly people in the comments do not understand Carbon Neutrality. Thus, I'll just post the definitions for you: Carbon neutrality, or having a net zero carbon footprint, refers to achieving net zero carbon emissions by balancing a measured amount of carbon released with an equivalent amount sequestered or offset, or buying enough carbon credits to make up the difference. Carbon offsetting is done by paying others to remove or sequester 100% of the carbon dioxide emitted from the atmosphere - for example by planting trees or by buying carbon credits to remove (or 'retire') them through carbon trading.
This woman is an inspiration. So much stuff in such a small area and it looks fantastic. All the plants and art. Awesome! It makes me believe that I can do it too.
Sweet van setup she has going there. I should do something with my enclosed car hauler other than keep the snow mobiles in it all year. Wish I could offload the design of it onto someone like her as it's not my thing. Maybe a hunting mobile or something...Plants. How does she keep them growing? Thanks for sharing!
Hello from New York City, Dylan! That was a fantastic video! Love, love, love it! I'm a solo female RVer and I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Peaceful journey! ThinkBig.
good for her for walking her talk. I wish to do the same thing as it is more ecologically responsible and sound to live tiny and pare down on stuff I don't need.
Dylan, are you doing the interviews for every posting on you tube? If so, your videos are very professional. This is something that could be seen on PBS or BBC. They are wonderful. Thank you.
Dude, I lived in Malaysia for 2 years and literally for MONTHS at a time we couldn't see the sun because of the smoke from the amount of burn off the Indonesians were doing on their palm oil plantations (formerly rainforest)! You can only do what YOU can do though, so I respect this woman for trying to practice what she preaches. Good vid, as per!
its good to see the effort ty.....and its good to see that the 400 miles you listed for a weeks travel would equate to 63days for me so im doing decently as well
I respect this woman, well done, but I have some questions. If she earned a decent salary, would she prefer living in a conventional apartment / house? Are we being folled here by the small is better / bigger is worse? Its perfectly possible these days to build larger and sustainable houses. Also, who is going to fight for affordable housing and rent in cities? That still is a problem for many people who cant even afford to go small. And if you have a family? To me, living small is like putting a plaster, but it wont cure the illness.
No gas energy, just electric makes one carbon neutral and just harness the sun's energy. 5:49 love the hanging fruit basket. And this bus already has darkened windows! And is this the biolite she has? amzn.to/2zg6m74
Right on! Thank you for caring for the planet. I think eating vegan is super important when it comes to the planet. Cutting down trees in the amazon rainforest for cattle is seriously f-up!! Seriously?..For cows!! If not veganism, please cut back on the amount of beef one eats for the love.
Good morning good morning dear lady! Just happen to run across your video this morning period a white for one moment during my sleep. Your video like your home and your lifestyle is absolutely awesome! Look forward to following you and getting to know you and cleaning tips. My carbon footprint has been awful for many years as a professional tractor trailer driving. And some of the old trucks had put so much black smoke and soot into the environment. At age 61 I'm going to have to be much much work to make up for lost time, hahaha I doubt if I live that long. But I can do what I can do. It's quite an honor to meet you and I look forward to following, sincerely Danny feel free to shoot me a message on Facebook if you there and have a spare moment. DANNY W HEIPLE.
Great idea. It is encouraging having people like you on earth, to show the people that there is another way of living, without ordering on amazon 40 times a month. Greetings from Germany. Keep up the work and spread the word.
Wish I could do this... I envy those who can. To be physically able to. Kinda difficult to build from a wheelchair. But this is so awesome to be so free... someday
Wooow! I would've never expected all these design elements to work together. I love that she has an adopted tribe and the film covered where she parks.
Very cool story, its nice that she's trying to practise what she preeches by trying to be carbon neautral. One thing we all can do dramatically help the climate change is stop eating all animal products which is the biggest contributor to climate change on the planet. We don't have to rely on the government or anybody, its something that we all can do to reduce the biggest contributor. Of course switching to electric bulbs, being more mindful of water/electricity consumption, biking more, less driving, buying less electronics, these well all great and can help too, they are however supplementary, not the leading cause to climate change. Let's make better choices. Great documentary to watch about climate change is called Cowspiracy (can be found on netflix)
@KathyPe Thank you! @Yonathan You can do what you want, you have the choice everyday to be either part of the problem or try to be part of the solution, it's up to you.
You're part of the problem too Yanev. The land and resources needed just to feed you takes away land and resources that could go to feed other animals and even plants. And that's not the half of it. Mining the rare-earths needed to make the computer you're using or the camera you took that sweet photo with comes at a pretty steep cost to the environment (as this article makes very clear www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/rare-earth-mining-china-social-environmental-costs) This is to say nothing of the fossil fuels burned to collect, refine, and transport the raw materials need to make your electronics, clothes, house, etc. You can play pretend all you want and make believe that your lifestyle doesn't damage the environment. But know those of us who actually know the true cost of human civilization are laughing our asses off you pathetic little vegans.
@Hawkeye Of course, living in a western world has a big impact and is not a Zero-emission fairy-tale lifestyle. But simply not eating meat has a massive impact (animal agriculture and animal products consumption are the lead contributors to global warming, along with deforestation, animal extinction, and many other issues). There is a very good documentary about the environment called Cowspiracy www.cowspiracy.com/ (also on netflix) It'smust watch for anyone interested in protecting the environment
Love the colors and different fabrics. However, there's too much stuff. Looks like you just stuffed your studio apartment into a small bus. Having so much bus weight ( from stuff) doesn't it increase the use of gas and therefore adds to the pollution.
Wow very impressive and I just have a minor observation. Propane's very safe and she should try a) buy a quality brand new empty tank, b) check the manufacture date on the tank is new and not "years old", c) refuel the tank and not exchange, and d) replace the tank as recommended by manufacture. I did it at my cabin in Santa Cruz Mountains with a 30lb propane tank hooked up to a stove. It didn't trigger CO2 alarm so it's safe to use inside. But it should store outside for a different reason, e.g. someone broke into my cabin and cooked when I was absence. But I was thankful the gas was off afterward. She left a note to someone else and complaining too. That was funny.
PS. I love the idea of the adopted family. I was stationed in the Philippines when I was in the Air Force. I might want to clean from your adopted family concept as I currently have many many friends from Facebook in the Philippines. And perhaps find me one family that as I learn from you I can be of service to them. Awesome ideas.
Someone just stole my shuttle bus, i was all set to live it soon. I am now without any money, without income and can't even pay the rent on my room in Santa Cruz at the moment.
She does realize that all her students just need an extra class so they take hers? I can guarantee only like 2 or 3 of the students care about the class.
Fantastic video and outlook! Are you vegan as well? I was shocked at the carbon footprint eating meat creates. I am purposefully trying to reduce my footprint as well, going vegan was a big step in that direction. We are now gearing up to sell all of our stuff that we don't need and minimize our lifestyle. Thanks for the info you shared here!
MOST EVERYTHING IN THERE USED A TON OF POWER TO MAKE. I'M SURPRISED SHE DOESN'T BURY HER FOOD DEEP IN THE GROUND TO KEEP COOL. IT USES ENERGY TO MAKE ICE, PLASTIC COOLER, CLOTHES,WALL HANGINGS, ALL THE SHOWER CURTAINS,GAS SHE USES TO DRIVE THAT TANK OF A BUS, REALLY LESS CARBON????????
I would like to see the "privy" and shower. Do you use your toilet and shower in your vehicle or do you shower and "go" somewhere else. If you don't show people a clear description of your solar setup or your toilet and shower setup, what is the point of this video. Can you share with us the recommendations of your students so we can benefit from the information?
When I first clicked on this video I was like, "No way!!! Dr. Pfeiffer!?!?!" It is so cool that you showcased your bus! You are truly an inspiration! I hope to have an awesome bus conversion like you some day! :D
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Yes! Finally! No built-ins. The entire space can be easily changed at any time for any purpose. So simple and amazing!
Where is the bathroom?
And the furniture looks so good in it.
Why so much hate for this woman who is living the live she wants. What are you doing to contribute to this world. There is already too much hatred in our societies, why spread it even more when you can embrace empathy and compassion for one another. Get a life

Love this. I live in the mountains just east of you in Twain Harte. Even though I am an old
Grandma I am looking to finding ways to be eco friendly.
Good for you! I hate it when people say they are too old to care about the environment
Very well-done video. Ms. Pfeiffer is exemplary in her lifestyle and ethics. Thanks! Loved seeing the plants and creativity inside the bus.
I love how you take your teaching into actions
@Guitar shut the f up. Your probably producing more emissions than her get a life
Damn. Instead of analyzing the woman and trying to prove that she's wrong somewhere or makes a footprint on this earth: Ask yourself first: What are YOU doing to protect the planet? Do YOU try to reduce your waste? Do YOU try to buy less stuff?

Phlow --what does the bus run on? I think it may drive on black top roads (oil made) and cement made with fossil fuel powered equipment.. On and on
Phlow
She isn't a scientist! she's an idiot in charge of kids... filling their heads with absolute rubbish and lies!
You are as stupid as she is, clearly!
wisdomseeker
no! she is a fake. teaching rubbish!
if you think that's fine then you are an idiot too1
Dilly Dally
oil isn't "fossil"fuel! no such thing!
THAT is THE oil industry scam supreme!
The Russians discovered this in the 1950s...
(don't believe me tho'.... look for yourself.)
One of the best decorated design and color palettes I've seen. I absolutely love the way you decorated your bus. It's bright, airy and full of life. I absolutely love it.
I love this lady😍 She is so concerned about our planet.
Awesome video! So inspiring! I am retiring and heading out in my van next Spring for a solo cross country trip. Looking forward to being closer to the earth and meeting new people! Thanks for all your great videos!!
Hello Adrienne 😊
I would love to have plants in my vehicle like i see some people doing, but where I live in Australia these plants wouldn't last a day due to the heat
I've thought every single time that I have ridden on the shuttle bus how I would convert one into a tiny home.
She has turned hers into a beautiful home. She does own a lot of things though. Looks like it is hard to move around in.
This woman is super inspirational! As a teacher my plan is to live in a tiny house to also practice what I preach. Thanks for this amazing video!
..and today's van and tiny home vagabonds and nomads often drop out of college or claim college is a waste. ha! this woman is proof that education and spiritual ecological minimalism experience not things mentality can co-exist, but not only that, she LIVES her education. she is absolutely an inspiration. if i had my three degrees to do over, i would have majored in architecture and did my masters in agriculture.
Cool bus, and she answers the question "Can you fit a harp in a bus?" :D
Fuck off, mate
Rocket Blogs what’s that about?
She clearly plays the Harp and it’s probably her most treasured possession.
So it gets prioritised.
Dylan, I'm gonna be living in a van after film school. Thanks for all these inspiring videos. I already daily vlog and will continue to daily vlog when I live in the van
Do it man! You will not regret it!
I'm so excited!
I haave somew vids too please check'em out!!!
Nice channel by the way! Will have to check out more of your edits when I have time! Been living the van life for 11 months all over washington, oregon and cali. Have fun!

Indeed! Thank you. I feel like these people who only criticize other's efforts are just producing more hot air 😉
Sort of reminds of me of the MAGIC SCHOOL Bus and the teacher (I know you all just sung the song). :P
😁😁😁✌️✌️✌️
Ms. Frizzle! 🤣
I don’t even know what the magic school bus is
Thank you for first making this video, Dylan.. Then a big thanks to Jeanine, for showing her bus and part of her life. Her idea to just move her one room apartment into the bus, gave me a sense of relief. See I also live in a bus, and other than my full size bed, I have not nor am I able to build anything else. Now I'll just purchase the "things ", I can't build myself. Example: (a small sink & cabinet set)
Thank you!
Her bus (home) is great!!
It's about taking Responsibility to do one's best, with making a difference, while we are here! I applaud anyone who is doing that. ~ Those who spout off, negatively pointing out irrational redundancies, are usually the very ones seeking to deflect from their own personal responsibilities.
Fair play to her👏 it’s a risk she took and it worked out great so I’m very happy for her
I love all the plants. It really brings the outside inside with all those Windows. I love your house.
I graduated from San Jose State! I live in Santa Cruz. Your home is absolutely beautiful! And I love how you're teaching such a crucial subject to young minds. You sound like an amazing lady : )
I have to mention this- a HUGE impact on climate change and our environment is animal agriculture. I highly suggest considering a plant-based diet
Gotta love the #Vanlife! I admire her for a lot of things Jeanine is up to! Keep the good vibez going! Been living the vanlife for 11 months myself and cannot say too many bad things about it! Has changed my life, perspectives and financials a lot! Keep on moving people!!!!

Cool build! I've been living in a cargo van, but looking to up size. Currently looking to deciding between a shuttle bus and a large Uhaul truck.
It is amazing who much living you have created in such a small physical space. Prayers for safe travel and much adventure. Also being able to teach at such a prestigious school.
Cluttery. But love the idea of a tiny place and saving resources.
Salamasina Blu.Her.53 I agree it’s kinda clutter city.
I thought so too. Not minimalistic, but perhaps that's not her goal. Kudos that she is trying. Love the bus idea.
absolutely love your bus conversion...very inspirational as well..thanks for posting...

I don't have a crew. Thank you.
Amazing...❤️living what you preach is awesome...and being able to help others, pass it on and make a living at it...🌎👍🏽👍🏼👍🏿
Awesome
Dude, I lived in Malaysia for 2 years and literally for MONTHS at a time we couldn't see the sun because of the smoke from the amount of burn off the Indonesians were doing on their palm oil plantations (formerly rainforest)! You can only do what YOU can do though, so I respect this woman for trying to practice what she preaches. Good vid, as per!

I love this vid! I keep rewatching it. The shuttle bus idea with all of that natural light is amazing. Good for her!
Totally inspired and honoured for thus share. Just incredible.
Hello Patricia 👋👋😊
This is so beautiful and inspirational for young people especially! What a wonderful mindset of a teacher! ❤️
beautiful video and beautiful bus! I think a shuttle bus is my next "vanlife" project! and of course there will be videos of it!
Right on! Thank you for caring for the planet. I think eating vegan is super important when it comes to the planet. Cutting down trees in the amazon rainforest for cattle is seriously f-up!! Seriously?..For cows!! If not veganism, please cut back on the amount of beef one eats for the love.

Your videos are nothing short of amazing! Thank You for doing what you do
why has nobody put a wind turbine to generate power in their van home. imagine going down the highway recharging your batteries.
Fascinating I love this story!!
Absolutely amazing! I admire your tiny home bus and I admire you
Great idea. It is encouraging having people like you on earth, to show the people that there is another way of living, without ordering on amazon 40 times a month. Greetings from Germany. Keep up the work and spread the word.
wow, i need to meet this woman!!! amazing. how responsible.
Super cool - good for you to live what you teach and by giving back to Mother Earth!
Wish I could do this... I envy those who can. To be physically able to. Kinda difficult to build from a wheelchair. But this is so awesome to be so free... someday
Great video and story. Loved it.
Really cool video, Dylan. Your video quality was already high, but I definitely see improvements! Great work.
I applaud you, I thank you and our environment thanks you as well.
Hey! That skillshare link still works and I just wanted to say thanks :)
Wooow! I would've never expected all these design elements to work together. I love that she has an adopted tribe and the film covered where she parks.
Great story! Amazing videography, Dylan.
Wow, I didn't know that they made solar as low as 45 watts. Without propane maybe a couple 265 watt panels would be better. : )
I absolutely loved this, such an incredible woman. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool story, its nice that she's trying to practise what she preeches by trying to be carbon neautral.

Lyubo Yanev totally agree! so brave to voice this :)
Lyubo Yanev Man, don't tell tell me how to live my life. Just because of that, I'm going to eat twice as much meat, and take 2 hour showers!
@KathyPe Thank you!
@Yonathan You can do what you want, you have the choice everyday to be either part of the problem or try to be part of the solution, it's up to you.
You're part of the problem too Yanev. The land and resources needed just to feed you takes away land and resources that could go to feed other animals and even plants. And that's not the half of it. Mining the rare-earths needed to make the computer you're using or the camera you took that sweet photo with comes at a pretty steep cost to the environment (as this article makes very clear www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/rare-earth-mining-china-social-environmental-costs)
This is to say nothing of the fossil fuels burned to collect, refine, and transport the raw materials need to make your electronics, clothes, house, etc.
You can play pretend all you want and make believe that your lifestyle doesn't damage the environment. But know those of us who actually know the true cost of human civilization are laughing our asses off you pathetic little vegans.
@Hawkeye Of course, living in a western world has a big impact and is not a Zero-emission fairy-tale lifestyle. But simply not eating meat has a massive impact (animal agriculture and animal products consumption are the lead contributors to global warming, along with deforestation, animal extinction, and many other issues).
There is a very good documentary about the environment called Cowspiracy www.cowspiracy.com/ (also on netflix) It'smust watch for anyone interested in protecting the environment
New sub....Very inspiring ...!!! Keep doing what you love
I love hearing you walk the walk that you talk. What an excellent example of coherence!
Love the colors and different fabrics. However, there's too much stuff. Looks like you just stuffed your studio apartment into a small bus. Having so much bus weight ( from stuff) doesn't it increase the use of gas and therefore adds to the pollution.
probably one of the only higher education professors that actually, practices what they preach. mad props.
Love these videos man. Makes me want to make more content. Really high quality stuff.
Thanks for setting a good example. I hope to do that one day. Thanks again
Loved, loved, LOVED this story! Thanks for such an inspiring video!!
Great vids Dylan!! Keep um coming.
Wow very impressive and I just have a minor observation. Propane's very safe and she should try a) buy a quality brand new empty tank, b) check the manufacture date on the tank is new and not "years old", c) refuel the tank and not exchange, and d) replace the tank as recommended by manufacture. I did it at my cabin in Santa Cruz Mountains with a 30lb propane tank hooked up to a stove. It didn't trigger CO2 alarm so it's safe to use inside. But it should store outside for a different reason, e.g. someone broke into my cabin and cooked when I was absence. But I was thankful the gas was off afterward. She left a note to someone else and complaining too. That was funny.
Another great video! I can not wait till the next one
PS. I love the idea of the adopted family. I was stationed in the Philippines when I was in the Air Force. I might want to clean from your adopted family concept as I currently have many many friends from Facebook in the Philippines. And perhaps find me one family that as I learn from you I can be of service to them. Awesome ideas.
Someone just stole my shuttle bus, i was all set to live it soon. I am now without any money, without income and can't even pay the rent on my room in Santa Cruz at the moment.
Wow!!!! So humbling and makes me rethink of my lifestyle
Love this stuff. Keep it up! You're putting so many videos out there, so don't burn yourself out. :)
Excellent video!! Well done!
I so enjoyed it!
She does realize that all her students just need an extra class so they take hers? I can guarantee only like 2 or 3 of the students care about the class.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the plants!!! And colors !!! Looks like a really cool place
This is LOVE for our Earth & Humanity. What a Beautiful Home and Way to Live
Sending Love, Peace & Healing.
Fantastic video and outlook! Are you vegan as well? I was shocked at the carbon footprint eating meat creates. I am purposefully trying to reduce my footprint as well, going vegan was a big step in that direction. We are now gearing up to sell all of our stuff that we don't need and minimize our lifestyle. Thanks for the info you shared here!
what a comfy bus :) thanks for sharing!
You're still crushing it. Keep it up. love the videos
Very cool. Great looking tiny house.
MOST EVERYTHING IN THERE USED A TON OF POWER TO MAKE. I'M SURPRISED SHE DOESN'T BURY HER FOOD DEEP IN THE GROUND TO KEEP COOL. IT USES ENERGY TO MAKE ICE, PLASTIC COOLER, CLOTHES,WALL HANGINGS, ALL THE SHOWER CURTAINS,GAS SHE USES TO DRIVE THAT TANK OF A BUS, REALLY LESS CARBON????????
Very inspirational 💜
Very creative! Awesome!😊
love your setup. I think it's the nicest I've seen yet. keep doing what you're doing. love the videos! you rock!
How do you keep furniture from moving when driving?
Love the vintage, indie look of the inside with all the colors and plants :)
Jeanine I envy you for that decision and for having a simple life....excellent video
I would like to see the "privy" and shower. Do you use your toilet and shower in your vehicle or do you shower and "go" somewhere else. If you don't show people a clear description of your solar setup or your toilet and shower setup, what is the point of this video. Can you share with us the recommendations of your students so we can benefit from the information?
