Eco-Friendly Kitchen Tips
posted by
Earth Day may be over, but that doesn’t mean we have to stop “celebrating” it! Having an environmentally friendly meal is not just about the ingredients you choose in your meals, but can also be extended to what you do before and after. Here are a few earth-friendly (as well as frugal) tips so you can do your part to make everyday Earth Day!- Let foods cool down naturally before placing them in your fridge
- Avoid opening the over doors while cooking. This can cool the temperature by 25 degrees, which can affect the cooking time of your food
- Aside from using the dishwasher only when it’s full, open the dishwasher door after it’s done cleaning and allow the dishes to dry naturally
- Unplug appliances when not in use
- Take advantage of natural light – open the windows to let this free resource in and avoid having to turn on the lights. If you’re already planning to do a renovation, consider adding skylights or arranging your working area so it gets the most amount of natural light during the day
- Natural cleansers can be found right under your nose – lemon juice and vinegar can be just as effective as any chemical-based soaps and detergents.
