Whether you are doing a full remodel or not, careful planning is the key to success when doing any home improvement job, but most especially in a more eco-friendly way:
"The importance of a sustainable kitchen design is often overlooked and underestimated,' notes Onorato.
'Minor decisions regarding materials and layout can yield significant benefits to the environment. In the beginning stages of a kitchen remodel, it's most helpful to brief your architect and discuss your sustainability goals, ensuring every decision throughout the process holds this goal in mind. If you are remodeling on your own, spend some time researching companies that are zero waste, or entirely offset their carbon emissions.'
