Greenlight Magazine features Eco Kitchens

posted by Mighty Staff

The premier issue of Greenlight Magazine profiles three eco-friendly kitchens. The article also offers up ten ways to make your kitchen more earth-savvy - although it's up to you to make it earth-sassy.

A few favorites:

5. Start composting kitchen refuse, such as fruit and vegetable parings. According to the EPA, up to 23 percent of the waste headed for U.S. landfills is compostable.

9. Use nontoxic or natural cleaning products, even homemade mixtures such as vinegar or baking soda and water. Green building materials are often best cleaned this way.

10. Install a gas stove with an electric ignition system, which uses 40 percent less gas than a pilot light.
