Where to after the green wedding?

If you're looking for a sustainably-built living space, here's an option: the 850 square foot prefab residence from Canuhome. The name comes from "canoe," (as well as "can you?"--make a difference, that is) and the pod may look small, but it's not much different in living space from a condo. It has a kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom and bedroom, and was designed precisely for young couples (and older ones downscaling for retirement).

The customizable residence is meant to fit in city-size back yards or even on top of other buildings, and they're also designed for relocation. They're energy, water, and resource-efficient, and Canuhomes use Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood products and "glocal" materials, and they also meet LEED standards.

So where do these forward-thinking, fanciful, sustainable living spaces of the future come from? Blame Canada.
