 Make houses out of trash! Dan Phillips has been doing just that for about 12 years now.
Recently featured in the New York Times, Phillips is the owner of Phoenix Commotion, a construction company which uses reclaimed materials to build low-income homes.
The 64-year-old has built 14 houses in his hometown of Huntsville, of which 80 percent of the materials used were salvaged from construction projects, hauled out of trash heaps or picked up from the side of the road.
Phillips uses recycled and salvaged materials to build low income houses and he’s going to show us just how he does it. He will be coming to the Children's Museum of Houston (CMH) on February 6th to demonstrate how to make flooring using the technique of papier mache!
