Dan Phillips: weaving dreams from discarded things
by Vicki Wolf

…He and his wife, Marsha, mortgaged their house and started The Phoenix Commotion, a business for building affordable houses from free, salvage and recycled materials. In 2003, the company received the award for most innovative housing worldwide from The Institute for Social Invention in London. Phillips' innovative approach to housing has been featured in Fine Homebuilding, People and Reason magazines and on CNN, HGTV, and other major television programs. The Discovery Channel is doing a documentary about Phillips' work

"We need to use renewable resources and
use non-renewables carefully."

Phillips commitment to sustainable living has led to the development of "Brigid's Paradigm, an initiative that facilitates home ownership through Brigid's Place, sponsored by Christ Church Cathedral in Houston. "When you own your own home, the energy rises in a family," Phillips says. "You are able to join the mainstream culture.".....
