Remodel for a “Greener” Kitchen
Though paying more attention to our environment and incorporating eco-friendly ideas into our everyday lives is a current trend, creating a greener kitchen will pay off in the future in many ways for your family. A safer, cleaner, more economical future can’t be a bad idea.
For a greener kitchen, consider these suggestions:
1. Appliances – Look for the Energy Star® sticker on kitchen appliances to ensure that you are getting the most energy-efficient options. Once you get your appliances home, check the settings to make sure you have them set on the most energy efficient levels.
2. Materials – Today’s product choices include hypoallergenic materials with low-toxicity and paint to help improve the air quality in your home. This can make a big difference for the health of your family, especially those who suffer from allergy problems.
3. Lighting – Compact fluorescent lighting can save up to 75% of the electricity used by incandescent bulbs. Even though these bulbs cost a little more initially, they last eight times longer – so why not give them a try?
With very little effort, we can make a huge difference for ourselves, our environment and the future of our planet. Even small steps can add up to make our world a greener, healthier place to live.
