Keep Waste in Check
Managing waste sustainably doesn’t have to be complicated. Composting toilets are a surprisingly effective and low-maintenance solution. They don’t use water and turn waste into compost that can be used in non-edible landscaping.
During construction and daily living, set up recycling bins for wood scraps, cardboard, cans, and plastic. It’s all about creating habits that reduce your cabin’s footprint—without sacrificing convenience.
Stay Warm (or Cool) Without Burning Resources
Heating and cooling a cabin efficiently is totally possible. A wood stove can be a great heating source if you have access to properly seasoned firewood. Even better? Biomass heaters that burn pellets made from sawdust and other waste materials.
