With the Go Green revolution gaining momentum all over the world, you too can do your bit by opting for environment friendly installations while remodeling your kitchen. As it is a well known fact that energy consumption in kitchens account for nearly 40 percent of home’s total energy needs, going green in the kitchen will not only substantially reduce your carbon footprint but also help you cut down your electric bills. Some simple eco friendly kitchen design ideas are given below.

Get sets of kitchen recycling bins where you can separate your trash into paper, food, bottles and plastics. You can also install a garbage disposal machine in your kitchen and dump the shredded pieces of food in a compost bin or wormery from where you can use compost for your houseplants. Invest in energy saving kitchen appliances and use your dishwasher in full load. Remember to install task lights in the kitchen so that you can work with just one light at a time.
