Kitchen

The kitchen used to be the hub of any household. In urban areas, where frozen dinners and fast food has replaced home cooking and family meals, the kitchen is certainly the center of waste generation. Separating your recyclables from the garbage has made a dent in the amount of waste going to landfills, but there is a great deal more that you can do to make your kitchen environmentally friendly. Look for bottle and vegetable brushes fabricated with stiff fibers from the husk of a coconut. Add a wooden handle and you are making a good start converting your kitchen into a much more eco-friendly room. Our catalogue includes 100% organic cleaning cloths to replace the miles of paper towels used and thrown away each year. Natural cleaners minimize the contamination of our water supplies, and faucet aerators reduce the amount of water we use. Soaps and lotions are available in organic versions, good for your hands and good for the planet. Pack your mid day meal in a waste free lunchbox, complete with washable, BPA, PVC and lead free storage containers. Crush your own herbs and spices in a beautiful marble mortar and pestle, and store them in recycled glass jars. Turn the lights off and eat by candlelight supplied by votives mounted in recycled glass containers. Use natural and organic utensils, food products, and water saver equipment every day. There are many ideas for you to implement in your kitchen to make it more “green”.
