I wanted to pass this news along (via The Ticker)-
Floor Covering Brokers is partnering with CLEAR (Carpet Landfill Elimination and Recycling) to reduce waste. As of December, all used carpet and carpet cushion is being sent to CLEAR’s recycling facility in Wisconsin for processing and re-use in new carpet and cushion, park benches, car parts, sound barriers, and more. FCB will also accept used carpet and cushion, for a fee, from homeowners, commercial property owners and competitors in an effort to keep the materials out of landfills.
This is great news and a fantastic service!

Tax Incentives for Home Energy Efficiency Reduced
There have been major changes to the Energy tax credits that I have used as a homeowner and enjoyed as a Builder. Sadly, what was a win/win/... for homeowners, builders, lumberyards and manufacturers has been whittled down but there are still some. The changes are explained well @Thedailygreen-Tax Incentives for Home Energy Efficiency Reduced. Here also is a link to Energy Star that also shows what home improvements qualify and for how much.
