Question

Gregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day,but not for the reason that most people would think£®He isn¡¯t homeless£®In fact he is trying to help the homeless£®

Gregory began his life as a sculptor£®But he often felt that his sculptures£®Which just stood in rich people¡¯s houses for years£¬lacked a meaningful purpose£®So in 201l he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell¡ªnot ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials£®

The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn¡¯t occur to him until the year 2013£¬ when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(·ÀË®²¼)£®Instead of a tarp£¬Gregory offered them something better£ºa small home with a water tank,a kitchen and a trap for waste£®They were so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city£®And soon his¡°Homeless Homes Project¡±was started£®

Before starting a new home£¬Gregory£¬goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins£®Everything he finds is usable¡ªrefrigerator doors become house doors£»washing machine doors often serve as windows£¬and the tops of cars become strong roofs£®He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily£®Each home takes two to three days to make£®

So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city's most needy£®While his small low- cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness£¬they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in£®They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help£®

Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture£¬where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops£®¡°A lot of people who hear about what I¡¯m doing want to get involved£¬¡±he said£®¡°Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together£®¡±
