            Some people                        live in alternative homes                                to solve different problems of traditional


        houses. For example, some homes use                                              renewable energy resources                                   because gas and


        oil have limited quantities and cannot be used continuously. They get power by                                                                                   using           .

        near rivers or streams live on houseboats. Houseboat dwellers                                                                              get utilities                         .


        from a generator or water tanks on boats. Some building materials are bad for the


        environment and are costly. To minimize these problems, some architects  reuse existing                                                                                          .
