Sustainable kitchens are not only good for the environment they can also support family health, it has been claimed. US-based couple Brandi and Adam Secher renovated their kitchen to include recycled countertops and bamboo flooring in an effort to boost the wellbeing of themselves and relations, North Shore Magazine reports. I didnt want to put anything in the house that could give off noxious fumes that take years to evaporate and be a potential health risk for my family, said Mr Secher. Readers were also informed of other green features of the house such as recycled glass tiles and a range of environmentally-friendly dining room furniture options.According to the news provider, the couples residence is indicative of a trend in home improvements that leans towards energy-efficiency. Writing for the Guardian, Alok Jha recently recommended installing low-energy bulbs after he was able to cut 60 per cent from his electricity bill through doing so himself.
