10 ways to have a greener kitchen

No, it’;s not painting it neon green … ha ha ha … I’;m sorry I could not avoid the obvious joke, obviously we are talking about trying to make our kitchen to be as green and sustainable as we can. And it is not necessary to give up the comfort and design and we can worry about the environment and have a nice, practical kitchen. Let’;s see how we can get with these 10 tips that we show below.

Use stainless steel furniture and accessories for the kitchen and glass tops are committed choices for the environment. Since 70% of the stainless steel used in kitchen sinks for example is recycled and so does the recycled glass countertops where up to 95% in manufacturing.

Create a green dot for waste disposal in our kitchen can steal some space but is a good way to participate in the selective collection of waste generated different home.

One of the best ways to contribur sustainability from the kitchen of our house is to reduce the consumption of water and electricity . So we have to worry about the energy efficiency of our appliances and water consumption they have. Washing machines and dishwashers are primarily involved in the consumption of water and electricity so I will try to buy the ones that have the best rating, AAA in terms of power consumption and consume less water.

As for the dishwasher must be noted that although we have the best qualified in terms of energy and water consumption if we use half load are spending 75% of the energy they would use him at full load. So just put up the dishwasher when full .

The cleaning products we use and also greatly affect the environment. So I will try to acquire and use onlybiodegradable and environmentally friendly cleaning .And do not forget everything to do with products like baking soda and vinegar that are greener cleaning products.

We began this article with the joke of the painting but it is also a serious issue for the ecology. The use of solvent paints anything not environmentally friendly. Endeavor to use clean paints, water-based and solvent-free more aggressive with the environment.

We have plenty of appliances connected to the mains and standby position, it represents a low power consumption that is constant and even after the month is reflected in a significant amount of kilowatts, according to the International Energy Agency between 5% and 10% of the electricity consumption of a household is wasted in this foolish way. So unplug them when not in use these appliances have standby.

We talked about the steel and glass as materials with high recycling rate at the beginning of the article but this does not prevent us from using furniture and wooden floorsin our kitchen. But we must be inquisitive and take an interest in the origin of wood that have been developed that furniture and floors. Today all manufacturers emphasize either the origin of the raw material when it comes to sustainable timber, ie it meets certain requirements regarding the production, but often ignore such information.

One of the most environmentally friendly practices that can be performed in decor is recycling, reusing old furniture and accessories to give them a new life and a new use if necessary. Simple, logical and convenient.

The kitchen floor is another area that needs attention, its coating must also be involved in this task of turning our kitchen into a green kitchen. The linoleum is a product that is made ​​from products such as linseed oil and pine resin, should therefore be from renewable sources. Thebamboo is a renewable resource, rather than wood because it takes less time to grow bamboo cane than any tree. The cork is also an environmentally friendly choice as collecting the bark of the cork, the cork is done with the live tree without causing major damage.
