I’ll be writing a longer post a little later, but I thought y’all might get a kick out of this — a family in California just got a $100,000 tax write-off, just for trying to live a little greener!

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 Habitat for Humanity and Corazón.
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 full article!
