Straw houses got a bad reputation from the three little pigs, but they're making a bit of a comeback. 

Two teens, Brennan Stark and Steve Burns, had a "crazy idea" to build better, affordable housing, and hit on straw as an offbeat but promising construction material. They aim to help "people who are traditionally cut out of homeownership, and do it in a really energy efficient and environmentally sustainable way," Stark said. 

Stark explains their project and its goals in this video.
