Living a greener life is not only good for health planet is good for health and the health of your family. Maintaining a bright green kitchen - in terms of energy efficiency and energy use, not by the color - can reduce their carbon footprint, but it can also help feed your family healthier, more delicious diet. The way you shop, cook, serve and clean up after serving meals all contribute to creating not only a healthy cooking, but a bright green kitchen.
Shopping Tips for a greener kitchen
- Buy local when you can. That means less fuel was used to transport food, and less emissions carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- Buy from farmers markets. You know you're buying locally, and contribute to the local economy. Keep local farmers in business is good for everyone.
- Skip "service size packages" of food and buy in bulk. Reduces the amount of trash going into landfills.
- Bring your own bags. Each plastic bag is one less not use the garbage bag. To get a bonus Additionally, many shops will have 5.10 cents out of your grocery bill for every bag you bring.
- Look for the recycling symbol on products purchased in plastic bottles to make sure you are buying containers that can be recycled.
Green Kitchen Tips
- Raw foods that do not use energy at all in the preparation. Serve fruits and vegetables as snacks and desserts natural.
- Use the perfect size recorder for their pots and pans. Do not put in a small pan one large burner - is wasted up to 40% of the energy used to heat the burner.
- Think small. Use the cooking apparatus as small as possible when cooking. A full size oven, a large amount of waste energy heating empty. Try an oven of counter top or slow cooker to use less energy to cook.
- Skip the food processor, electric mixer for small jobs. Some of the best kitchen appliances energy not at all - an old-fashioned egg beater, for example, can whip cream or egg whites with just a little grease to the elbow.
- Do not preheat the oven. Most modern ovens heat quickly enough that the preheating is redundant.
Serve Green
- If you must use disposable plates and utensils of service, use paper that can go into your compost, or for post-consumer recycled materials.
- Using less means less dishes to wash the dishes - less energy required for cleaning. No need to pour the vegetables from the pot into a serving dish.
- Garnish with edible food, fresh flowers and herbs from her own garden. Gardening is a way to reduce your carbon footprint by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
- Serve food when ready to avoid having to keep food warm.
Green Kitchen Cleaning Tips of
- If you only have a couple of plates and cups, hand wash instead of running the dishwasher.
- When washing hands, fill the sink instead of washing and rinse under running water.
- Compost and peels of fruits and vegetables leftovers. Good for your garden, good for the planet.
- It's really nice with the environment to run the dishwasher for a full load of dishes washed by hand.
- Recycle as much as possible - glass, cans and cardboard are recyclable. The more you recycle, the less will clog landfills for our land.
