One of the areas in your home that uses the most energy is your kitchen. So a lot of research and development has gone into finding new materials and building more energy-efficient appliances to cut energy consumption. If you’re considering remodeling your kitchen (and who isn’t), you will be interested in these eco-friendly ideas for new kitchens. This video includes:

- Reducing water consumption with reduced-flow faucets and dishwashers that use only 50% of the water used by normal dishwashers.

- Cooking appliances that use much less energy.

- Low energy lighting that can cut electricity consumption by more than 50%.

- Materials for flooring, counter tops and cupboards made from more eco-friendly processes.

Not only do these ideas make a lot of “green” sense, but they can cut your energy bills too.
