Eco-friendly concrete countertops

Granite countertops are still all the rage, at least in mainstream home design and renovation. However, granite is not an optimal green product, as they are less-than-sustainable due to the environmental cost of quarrying and shipping, according to Healthy Home Plans.

Concrete countertops offer an alternative. They are much more sustainable, as they are made from limestone, an abundant mineral. Concrete countertops are similar in price to granite. See them and an informative FAQ at The Concrete Network.

One good thing about still having Formica counters (the horror!) is that if you do make an upgrade, you can skip the whole granite thing and move right onto some more eco-friendly options. According to Healthy Home Plans, if you do decide it must be granite for you, try to find a locally quarried product.
