Environmental Kitchen

Eco is all-the craze these days, with global warming and landfills piling higher and higher, it is time to do our part to conserve. Now I know that I haven’t always followed the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle Moto, but after doing a little research I discovered you don’t have to sacrifice quality or style to be environmentally friendly.
Now it isn’t possible to become environmental over night, it will take some time to convert. However, I know I spend a lot of time in the kitchen, and with so much in a day surrounding food, the Kitchen seems to be the appropriate place to start.
I found some excellent eco-friendly kitchen products at; http://www.greenandmore.com/kitchen.html , and I am going to give you my top five, so that like me you can consider starting to become more eco-friendly.
