Watch our talk on YouTube here. Jacob has also been beekeeping and doing #organicfarming as well as #cleanups around Mt.Fuji in the stunningly beautiful #yamanashi area of Japan.

Jake studied architecture and environmental design at Cornell University and has a real passion for sustainable living and business. He actually lived in a Teepee as a child in Canada and lived a simple life off-the-land. He now applies a lot of his know-how into creating homes that use less energy and incorporate greenhouses to grow your own food.

Jake's Eco Houses have been featured on Japanese TV https://youtu.be/o5NbuK16FLQ

Jake is the guy to get in touch with for anything you may want to do from renting sustainable accommodation to buying a sustainable home. You can contact Jacob Reiner on LinkedIn
