Green Daily

Many of us are always looking for a way to green our homes while saving a buck. While new appliances may not be in your budget right now, some luxury kitchen outfitters may be able to help you out anyway.

Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances have teamed up to bring you a site dedicated to cut down on your kitchen's eco-footprint. It's called growagreenkitchen.com, and it's basically an interactive kitchen that allows you to click your way around to get tips on how to green your kitchen experience.

OK, it does suggest buying Sub-Zero's and Wolf's luxury appliances all over the place -- it's a commercial site, after all -- and if you can afford to outfit your kitchen with energy-saving appliances, more power to you. Some of Sub-Zero's refrigerators draw less electricity than a 100watt light bulb, so it's not a bad idea.

But for the majority of us looking for some cheaper quick tips, the site has some good ideas. Some of the easiest are just buying non-toxic kitchen cleaners and fixing you leaky faucet. They also emphasize buying local and seasonal produce, since most food we buy travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to us. Doing all the little things does add up.
