Keys to Keeping a Sustainable Kitchen
It’s been long said that the kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s often where our family will gather and enjoy a good meal together. With that in mind, there are so many easy ways we can incorporate sustainability into our kitchens. Here are a few great places to start!
Avoid single use items
Toss out that pesky plastic wrap and replace it with a reusable silicone cover, or even invest in a nice set of food storage containers with lids, you certainly won’t regret it.
Consider a composting bin (Yes even in your apartment!)
They make compost bins for every space now. Everything from simple and discrete, to colorful and decorative – people might not even know it’s a compost bin.
Swap those plastic water bottles for a reusable bottle
This one is a biggie. An average of 60 million plastic water bottles are thrown away in the USA Every. Single. Day. There are tons of amazing reusable water bottles out there – were confident that you can find one you like!
Buy second hand or recycled kitchen items
Have you ever though about this? Everywhere you turn there’s a secondhand store that has great brand name products, all they need is a little TLC.
We know the transition into a more sustainable kitchen seems a little out of reach, but the initial investment is always 100% worth it in the end. By starting with these quick and essential steps our kitchens, our homes, and our planet will continue to enjoy the benefits of sustainability.
