By 2030, it will be 60 percent. With more people in cities, there is less space, and housing costs more. What can we do? Here’s an idea.Container HousingThe city of Amsterdam is using old shipping containers as housing for students and other people. The containers are small—30 square meters (three hundred twenty square feet)—but they are comfortable. There is space for a living area, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. These houses are also inexpensive: only a few thousand dollars to buy. Today, the containers are used around the world as homes and student dormitories, as well as shops, offices, and hotels.Tiny HousesIn the U.S., Jay Shafer makes tiny houses for people. The smallest is only 9 square meters (98 square feet). The houses aresmall, but they have everything you need. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. On the second floor is a bedroom. It is big enough for two people. The houses are also inexpensive. Most are $15,000.1. Container Housing集装箱房屋2.

It’s a three-bedroom house in a suburb in the United States. It’s a nice area, but there is a problem with this house: it uses a lot of energy.But this isn’t surprising. Houses and buildings use forty percent of all the energy in the United States. And many homes waste a lot of energy.Amory Lovins teaches people to save energy in their homes.Today, he is visiting the Cohen’s house. Lovi ns walks around the house, and he finds different problems. There’s a problem with the heater in one room, and the freezer in the kitchen. Lovins: “Oh, what have we here...?”Narrator:We don’t have to use a lot of electricity in our homes, says Lovins. There are simple ways to save energy.It’s surprising; homes waste a lot of energy, even while you sleep.To save energy in your home, unplug electronics when you’re not using them.Lovins:“Do you see that little red light down in the corner?”Narrator:Now, the TV is off, but it’s still using energy because it’s plugged in. The Cohens pay sixty dollars every year for this extra energy. The Cohen family has lots of electronics. They’re all plugged in. So they’re always using energy.Lovins lives in Aspen, Colorado, in the mountains. His house is very eco-friendly. All of the home’s electricity comes from solar panels.Some days, it’s below -40 degrees Celsius here. But Lovins’ house is warm, thanks to the solar panels.In fact, Lovins’whole house uses very little energy—only 120 watts. That’s a little more energy than you need to turn on one light bulb.It’s a very eco-friendly home.1. a three-bedroom house一幢有三间卧室的房子2.unplug electronics拔出电器的电源插头3.plug in插上电源的插头4.thanks to幸亏；由于。
