Five trees stand in the way of a home developer trying to save hundreds of properties from ending up in the landfill. The travel we discuss in this weeks episode of the Carry-On Bags Only podcast involves the transport of homes that are part of a sustainable initiative entrepreneur Glyn Lewis is leading. Renewal Home Development is on a mission to save houses from landfills giving them a new life on Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. Glyn is looking to build the world's largest walking-cycling primary community of upcycled homes while encouraging people to rethink the car culture model. Vancouver, one of the greenest cities in the world and a tourist hotspot, is experiencing housing shortages. We discuss some of the obstacles and challenges he faces and Glyn shares his perspective on the mindset shift that needs to happen. You will also learn how you can get involved to help save good quality homes from being destroyed and how to be part of the change for a more sustainable future!
