organic, free-range, self-sustaining

Idea for a Port­landia sketch (which would play out over the length of the en­tire episode):

Car­rie and Fred de­cide the en­vi­ron­men­tal­ly re­spon­si­ble thing to do is to move into a tiny house off the grid and be­come self-sus­tain­ing in or­der to re­duce their lev­el of con­sump­tion and their car­bon footprint.

Af­ter do­ing this, they set about build­ing a chick­en coop and get­ting some chick­ens as the first step to­ward be­com­ing self-sustaining.

As the episode goes on, their chick­en coop be­comes big­ger and more spa­cious and more elab­o­rate in or­der to max­i­mize the com­fort of their chickens.

Even­tu­al­ly they move into the coop (which is big­ger than most hous­es at this point) and fill it with items ‘for the chick­ens’ that will al­low them to pro­vide the best care and attention.

Af­ter in­stalling plumb­ing, elec­tric­i­ty, car­pet, a satel­lite dish, and cen­tral heat and cool­ing, they de­ter­mine that such an un­nat­ur­al en­vi­ron­ment for the chick­ens doesn’t re­al­ly lend to the or­gan­ic, free-range ap­proach they were go­ing for, so they re­lo­cate the chick­ens into the tiny house, which is the size of a coop com­pared to the al­most-man­sion (orig­i­nal­ly built for the chick­ens) that they now occupy.
