Give Your Kitchen A Green Makeover

Katharine · March 16, 2018 ·

Spread the love

One of the most used rooms in the home is the kitchen. It’s the first place that people like to look at when they view a home; they need to know it’s going to be the right size for entertaining their friends, eating family meals and holding all the gadgets that they want to buy. When it comes to buying into a new kitchen, it often pays to think about the world around you and being environmentally friendly in your kitchen is going to be the start.

Creating a Green Kitchen

Eating green is one thing, but you mainly have to think about how you want to be a little greener in the kitchen to be able to have a positive, organic impact on the environment. You need to adopt good habits in the kitchen, from cleaning and preparation of food to dodging toxic chemicals. You wouldn’t believe how many materials are currently under your kitchen sink that contain harmful toxins and can erode your appliances. Companies like www.CleanHappens.com recognize this and have made their products safe for the environment, your kitchen and your hands! If you’re going to spend thousands of dollars on a new kitchen, you should make sure that you know exactly how to make your kitchen greener. You get your new kitchen, and you use less of a carbon footprint. Here are some of the ways that you can give your family kitchen a green makeover.

Buy Smart

Your cookware is going to be the first place that you can be eco-friendly. You need to make a smart decision with your utensils and your bakeware and ditch the Teflon. There is already a long debate about non-stick surfaces and how unhealthy that they can be, so you should really opt for cast iron or stainless-steel items. They’re sometimes a little more expensive to start with, but in the long run they’ll last you for generations. This means you are disposing less of cheap items and keeping things going for longer.

Appliance Right

When it comes to your appliances, always go for energy-efficiency over aesthetics. The cheaper the appliance, the less efficient it will run. Always check the energy star rating when you buy new items and go for something simple. Do you really need a Wi-Fi connection to the refrigerator that uses more energy? Probably not.

Good Food

Eating green is a part of having an energy efficient kitchen. Buying local produce and making things from scratch helps you to avoid buying in mass-produced frozen items. The fewer the miles from the farm to the table, the better your carbon footprint will be.

No Waste

Composting is amazing for your garden, and you can save all your peelings to make your own mulch. Doing this means less waste going into the bin and if you don’t have a garden, bring it to your local farm instead.

Your kitchen can be greener than the limes in the fruit bowl with a little of this and that. Take the time to look into your green options and be more organic with your kitchen choices.
