			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ll be writing a longer post a little later, but I thought y&#8217;all might get a kick out of this &#8212; a family in California just got a $100,000 tax write-off, just for trying to live a little greener!</p>
<p>Mike and Tricia Barry needed to completely tear down their home, but instead of sending it to a landfill, this eco-friendly couple had their home deconstructed peice by piece and recycled into new homes.</p>
<p>Almost 85% of the materials were able to be recycled or reused in one way or another. Everything from wood, nails, flooring, and roofing to appliances, copper piping, light fixtures, and windows went to non-profit organizations like <a title="Habitat for Humanity Home Page" href="http://www.habitat.org/">Habitat for Humanity</a> and <a title="Corazon Charity Builders" href="http://corazon.org/">Corazón</a>.</p>
<p>Not only did the Barry family save tons of debris from going to the landfill, they also added a little padding to their wallet. Check out the <a href="http://earth911.com/blog/2009/06/09/family-recycles-home-for-100000/" target="_blank">full article</a>!</p>
