Making your kitchen sustainable and eco-friendly not only helps build the foundations of a healthier, more conscious lifestyle but is also a great way to reduce your environmental impact. Here are all the tips to start with.
Opt for energy-efficient appliances with high Energy Star ratings to reduce your carbon footprint.
Minimize food waste by planning meals, making shopping lists, and properly storing leftovers.
Opt for seasonal, organic and fresh produce in your own region over ingredients from far away.
Avoid single-use plastics as much as possible. Use reusable bags for grocery shopping, glass or stainless-steel food storage containers.
Prevent wastage of drinking water by using low-flow faucets, fixing leaks and reusing leftovers to water plants.
Utilize available space, whether it's a small balcony or a sunny windowsill, to grow your own herbs and vegetables.
Set up a compost system for food scraps and yard waste, whether you live in a flat or not.
