Take a look at the 6x6-foot dumpster where one professor lived for an entire year
It's not what it sounds like: Wilson - who goes by the alter-ego "Professor Dumpster" - is an environmental science professor and dean at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, Texas who worked with his students and a team of experts to transform that dumpster into a sustainable home that cost under $10,000.
We first came across the project in The Atlantic, and now The Washington Post reports that Wilson's residency in the dumpster has come to an end.
The project's director of operations Karen Magid says that the dumpster's development is far from over, and that they're currently accepting applications from educators to spend a night in the dumpster as a catalyst for teaching their students about the environment and sustainability.
Wilson is now transitioning back to a noisy life full of the usual bills in a normal-sized house with his girlfriend, but plans to begin a new project soon: 99 Nights ATX, where he will spend 99 nights sleeping on couches in 99 different households in Austin.
Here, Team Dumpster shared photos of the 6x6-foot trash receptacle that served as Wilson's home for the last year.
