Dan Phillips lecture this Thursday- Rebellion with Intelligence

Sierra Club Lecture- Thursday January 8th at 7pm
Rebellion with Intelligence: Building Sustainable Low-Income Housing
Come see what Living Paradigm is all about.

Dan Phillips combines social and environmental responsibility together in his design and construction of low-income housing. He sees building potential in material - ranging from scrap lumber to bottle corks to scrap glass - that would otherwise be dumped into a river of waste, thereby reducing the stream of waste to landfills. In his words, "...know what the rules are and enter into your rebellion with intelligence."

The Phoenix Commotion is a low-cost housing initiative created by Dan and Marsha Phillips that puts the "recyle-reuse" philosophy into practice. They are particularly interested in serving the population of low-income families and artists, whose income may not allow them to actually afford "affordable housing". The houses are built with unskilled labor, which allows workers to get on-the-job training. Pictures of some of Dan’s work are on Phoenix Commotion’s website www.phoenixcommotion.com. Some of the cottages would be at home in the Houston Heights.

Join the Sierra Club for a brief social period at 7:00 p.m. The program begins at 7:30. Central Presbyterian Church. 3788 Richmond at Timmons. Houston, TX.
