		<description><![CDATA[Living in a small apartment or home can be challenging but fun.  After living in a small space for nine months, we have a top 21 list of ways a tiny living space changes your life:

1. When your friends come over you worry about who will have to sit on the floor... and it's usually you.

2.  When you run your dishwasher it humidifies the entire apartment.

3.  Your two cats have figured out the longest distance in your apartment and


    Using the top of the cabinet as a bookshelf. A little herb garen below.

periodically run laps to get some exercise.

4.  You watch TV on your computer, which you can see from any place in your apartment.

5.  You can watch TV from your toilet.

6.  You have only one window :(

7. During the holidays you ask people not to give you anything, partially because you don't like getting "stuff" but mostly because you don't have any room.

8. Your storage containers are also your bedside tables.

9.  50% of your total storage space is located under your bed.

10.  Your books are displayed next to your dishes and kitchen appliances.

11.  You are never out of sight or earshot of your partner/roommate.

12.  Passing gas is no longer a private matter.

13.  Your body heat is enough to warm your entire apartment in cool weather and you have no idea if your heater actually works because you've never had to use it.

14.  When you shoe shop, you consider if your purchase will fit on your shoe shelf.

15.  Instead of buying a dresser you store your underwear and socks in your kitchen drawers and have to explain to guests that your kitchen is also your closet.

16.  An antique chest serves as a coffee table, extra seating and of course extra storage.

17.  Your clothes are on display, and not because you want to look at them.

18.  There are more mirrors than paintings on your walls, and not because you are vain.

19.  You have actually considered buying a murphy bed.

20. You can clean all your tile with one paper towel and all your carpet with a dustbuster.

21.  You and your partner have gotten used to "dancing" with each other in the kitchen as you prepare meals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have rented apartments in Minnesota and Arizona.  My top complaints with these buildings are the lack of foresight into the energy efficiency of the buildings and the lack of recycling in the apartment community.  In Minnesota the insulation was terrible on most places resulting in monstrous heating bills.  In Arizona, so many buildings are colored to absorb rather than reflect the blaring sunlight and so few buildings capture sunlight on the roofs with solar panels.  Appliances are often not energy efficient, window glass is not insulated, carpeting is made from plastics, the list goes on and on.

However, there are some things a renter stuck in a situation where they are unable to control these factors can do to have a smaller eco footprint:]]></description>
