Suzy Strutner reports on Huffington Post that a Slovakian architectural firm, Nice Architects, has designed the "Ecocapsule," a tiny, 86 square-foot capsule that you can live in anywhere.
The mobile pod has sleeping room for two, toilet and shower, a working toilet, a mini kitchen, a desk and two windows -- it even has some storage space.
The "eco" part comes from being powered by renewable sun and wind energy, and it is designed to remove bacteria from the rainwater it harvests for the dwellers' use. On top of all that, it has a battery for charging electric cars. Its self-sufficiency makes it adaptable for use anywhere -- from beaches to jungles to prairies.
In other words, it's sort of like having your own shell to live in -- something snails and turtles discovered about a million years ago.
