Until fairly recently any individual who expressed concern about the degradation of the environment raised skeptical eyebrows. That has completely changed now, since we all appear to have an awareness that the planet is having difficulties, and we all have a part to play in fixing it. According to the industry experts, to clean up the surroundings we are all going to have to make some improvements. Each and every family must start creating changes that are environmentally friendly and they have to do this soon. The kitchen area is a good place to start saving energy by going more green.
You may well prefer cooking with your oven, but using a microwave instead will cost you way less money. Perhaps the realization that an oven utilizes 75% more energy will encourage you to use the microwave more. Countertop appliances will boil water or steam vegetables more quickly than your stove, and use a lot less electricity. You might reckon that you save energy by washing your dishes by hand, however that is not true. A dishwasher is particularly economical when it's full before a cycle is commenced. Don't dry the dishes using heat, make use of the cool dry or air dry functions to increase the money you save.
From the above it really should be clear that just in the kitchen, by itself, there are lots of little opportunities for saving energy and money. Green living is definitely something we can all accomplish, without difficulty. Mostly, all it will take is a little bit of common sense.
