Dan Phillips lecture - Rebellion with Intelligence- Thursday

[Living Paradigm]

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
