The kitchen is the heart of every home; a place where the family, food lovers and friends unite. So, it also needs to be a hub for health too - and a place where a sustainable, renewable, environmentally-conscious ethos is cultivated. Many eco-friendly homeowners will already be very familiar with the benefits of a green kitchen... but, if you're new to all things "eco", we'll serve you up some sustainability secrets and let you know how to get started.
A green kitchen isn't a complex idea, but it is impactful. It's a space that's driven by a desire to lower waste generation, reduce energy consumption and minimise your environmental footprint by using "green" products and energy-efficient appliances.
A green kitchen is created to not only be more responsible in the way energy is used and consumed, it is also designed to save you money in the long term. Your green kitchen incorporates everyday products and utensils that are of such high quality and so well-designed that you won't have to be constantly replacing them.
A green kitchen really starts with a collection of well-crafted eco-friendly products that are made from sustainable materials... So you may be asking:
