Look around any kitchen, the flooring and countertops are probably granite or marble – both of which are completely non-renewable. The best replacements seem to be cork, natural linoleum and even bamboo. Don’t be too surprised, housewares expert Gus Dallas claims that bamboo is the latest craze in kitchen products, being widely used for everything from flooring to cutting boards. |

Lighting is an aspect of environmental awareness that most of us seem to be fairly up to date with, energy saving bulbs being present in most household thanks to the increasing unpopularity of ‘traditional’ bulbs. If you haven’t yet converted to ‘Eco-bulbs’, they are readily available relatively anywhere and cut energy consumption by fifty percent. If all else fails, you can always fall back on the tried-and-tested option of natural light, which can be applied to the entire household. If installing a new kitchen, ensure there is an adequate amount of windows, or simply open the blinds to provide as much sunlight as possible – this requires no energy and is completely free! |
