People looking to cut their carbon footprints need look no further than their kitchen sinks, an expert has suggested.Greg Petersen, an authority in environmental planning, has joined previous calls for people to take heed of the energy and resources they are wasting in their own kitchens.He told ABC15.com that there are a number of easy ways to make a difference and being green doesnt have to be hard.Contrary to many recommendations, Mr Peterson is urging people to stop recycling this is because people need to cut down on the number of water bottles they are buying in the first place.What I tell people is we need to stop recycling because we need to reduce and reuse first, he stated.Instead, water from the kitchen sink can be utilised as drinking water as well as a source for washing up.In addition, Mr Peterson has called for kitchen sink dishwater to be reused to water the garden.
