Since Earth Day is this Friday, it's a great time to make a conscious effort to be more green in the kitchen. I'm a firm believer in the we are what we do philosophy in which small actions by lots of people creates big change. If everyone stops using plastic bags, the world will be a better place! These suggestions may seem like no brainers to those who already live eco-friendly lifestyles, but to those who don't, I encourage you to participate and take these simple steps to becoming more green.

Ways to Make Your Kitchen Greener

Earth Day is a great time to think about going green in the kitchen.

Earth Day is a great time to think about going green in the kitchen. Having an environmentally friendly kitchen is easy — and affordable — if you make a few simple changes to your current living style. Here's how you can make your kitchen more green:

  • Recycle! This may seem like a no brainer, but if you don't recycle your cans, glasses, cardboard and plastic containers, etc. start doing so now. If possible, start composting as well.
  • Plant a garden. Growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs cuts down on the amount of fuel needed to transport the produce. Home gardens also cut back the use of plastic baggies.
  • If you are remodeling your kitchen, use recycled materials, and look for eco-friendly, energy saving appliances with long shelf lives.
  • Stop using plastic and paper bags. Instead transport groceries in reusable tote bags.
  • Buy local products when possible.
  • Substitute cloth napkins for paper napkins.
  • Completely fill the dishwasher and only wash full loads.

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day and the arrival of Spring, I've decided to add some green accents to my kitchen decor. I asked you to help me search for green — in color or state of mind — accessories. You looked for anything and everything and bookmarked your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Green Kitchen.

I was very surprised by the overwhelming amount of cool green kitchenware! I love the artistic Dom Perignon Champagne cooler. What I don't love is the $1000 price tag.

Something like this pretty paisley printed dishtowel is more up my alley. Serenityspeaks discovered this item that is affordable, stylish, and fresh in a lovely green color scheme. To go gaga for green, browse all of the collection below.

St. Patrick's Day requires green decorations so I've decided to add some splashes of green to my kitchen. Can you help me find green accessories? Dish towels, plates, tools — they can be green in color or environmentally green. Bookmark your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Green Kitchen. I'm looking forward to seeing the accessories.
