Phoenix Commotion

Check out this video featuring the work of Dan Phillips and his unique business, Phoenix Commotion. His business plan is simple and brilliant - build homes out of discarded materials for a really affordable price (we're talking $20,000-50,000). Those discarded materials span from scrap wood to broken mirrors to wine corks to glass dishes. Phillips calculates that enough materials are thrown out in his town to build a house every week (and that's a small town in Texas, imagine what can be done with big city junk!). Phillips' houses are also available to anyone with $500, no bad credit and a steady job (minimum wage is ok). Truly amazing.
