The The REUSE! Box Truck Tiny House was created by Reuse Edutainer Alex Eaves and Tiny House Expert Derek “Deek” Diedricksen who transformed a 17-foot box truck into a 98-Square Foot tiny house and mobile reuse education center; combining their knowledge of reuse and building tiny houses. Alex and Deek have reused every step of the way: from the truck to the materials to screws. They show people how, with a little more thought and creativity, reuse is everywhere and it's not only beneficial to our planet, but it benefits people and their wallets too.

Alex Eaves is a reuse edutainer, filmmaker, and also the creative force behind STAY VOCAL, an award winning, Green America - certified reuse clothing brand. As a former merchandiser for touring rock bands, Alex saw T-Shirt waste first-hand and was driven to create a reuse solution for the problem. Since 2003, Alex and his shirts have been helping people make themselves heard about ideas for positive change in a simple and effective way. And just by choosing a reuse garment instead of a new one, they’re doing just that.
Alex's line of 1 of a Kind REUSE! Shirts are his way to attract people from all walks of life to reusing with a completely unique wearable art piece. The garments feature original designs like animals, movies, music, sports, toys and TV. Over the years, he has made thousands of these shirts and they've reached all ends of our shared planet. And each one of the shirts helps save 713 gallons of water; the amount it takes to make just 1 new cotton T-Shirt!
