If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint, you don’t have to go far. Many consumers don’t realize how much energy is lost due to holding onto old refrigerators or running your dishwasher half – full. Thankfully, our friends at yourhome.ca have given us 10 Steps to an Eco-friendly Kitchen. Here are a few highlights:
Dish it Up
Save energy and run your dishwasher only when it’s completely full. Make sure you use the right detergent. Look for plant-based detergents and avoid synthetic products. (We love GrabGreen‘s dishwasher detergent.)
Nuke ‘Em
Using sponges to wash dishes and countertops is fine, but you must make sure to keep those sponges clean. You can kill bacteria by placing sponges in the microwave for about 90 seconds.
