		<description><![CDATA[Mention reclaimed materials and the image pops: salvaged wood beautifully repurposed as paneling or flooring. While reclaimed wood is indeed one of the most popular reused materials, the range of materials sought and available extends far beyond that. “Reclaimed wood is a classic, and it’s an idea most people are familiar with,” said PlanetReuse operations [...]]]></description>

Peter Amerongen built a brick wall behind the wood burner. We used the bricks from the foundation of the house that used to be standing on the property. This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Man, there was a lot of wood around when they built the pink house at 9805 &#8211; 84th Avenue in 1916. It turns out that the pink paint on its exterior is covering cedar siding. So as part of deconstructing the 100-year old house that the Mill Creek NetZero Home (MCNZH) will replace, I&#8217;ve been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Peter Amerongen is fond of saying &#8220;concrete is one of the most energy intensive things we do&#8221;. Or something to that effect. By &#8220;we&#8221;, he means humanity, and he&#8217;s right: Cement is the principal ingredient in concrete[, and] cement manufacturing accounts for approximately 7% to 8% of CO2 globally, and approximately 1.8% of CO2 emissions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metals are easier to recycle than many other substances. They can usually be melted down, and the quality of the end product is very high. This contrasts sharply with plastics, which always degrade to a substantailly lower-valued product when recycled. Recycling metal is much more energy-efficient than mining it from scratch, so &#8220;mining&#8221; it from [...]]]></description>
