Using Cloth in the Kitchen: Green in 365 at LiveRenewed.com

  This is Day 214 of the Green in 365 series! Guest Post by Anjanette of Raising the Barrs:  I have unpleasant memories of the wet dishrags from my childhood. I remember them being threadbare and an unidentifiable dingy color. And the smell...

Thank you for supporting this site with purchases made through links in this post.

  This is Day 56 of the Green in 365 series! Our microwaves can get pretty dirty from splatters and spills all over the top, sides, bottom and door of the microwave, and they become harder and harder to scrub off every time we use the microwave.

But let's be honest, cleaning the microwave probably doesn't happen that often for most of … [Read more...]

Get the Teflon Out!

  This is Day 52 of the Green in 365 series! Now that we've talked about getting the plastics and aluminum out of our, there's one more important toxic chemical that we should work to remove from our kitchens as well: Teflon and cookware  with non-stick surfaces.

Get the Aluminum Out! {Green in 365}

  This is Day 50 of the Green in 365 series! In addition to plastics, another material that we need to be wary of using in our kitchens is aluminum. There are several reasons why we should try to reduce aluminum use in our kitchens: 1. Aluminum is a non-renewable resource, meaning that when we use up the earth's supply of aluminum, it's gone. The earth cannot make more aluminum. 2. Elevated levels of aluminum in the brain may be connected to an increase risk of … [Read more...]
