Eco-Rehabbing: Resources for Green Kitchen & Bath Renovations
It's gotten really easy to be green while updating a kitchen or bath. Not only are newer fixtures and appliances more energy efficient, more companies are producing recycled building materials so you can stay green from the studs out. From flooring to fixtures, here's a little roundup of our favorite resources for green kitchen and bath rehabs. 

How To Brew Compost Tea
We first learned about compost tea during a visit at a local nursery. There, they sold this super-nutrient plant food by the gallon, and it promised to help my ailing plants like no other prescription could do. Now that we know what it's good for, and have our own compost pile in the backyard, we're ready to make our own — it's cheap and easy, and it's like gold for plants!

DIY Idea: Simple Cork Trivet
We have seen many DIY projects featuring uses for corks, but often times the overall effect is rather shabby chic or country kitchen. While that may suit some decors, it's nice to see a more pared down version that with clean lines and simple shape, that would fit in with a more minimalist look.

Community Gardening: Creating Green Thumbs Across America
Last year our small city started up a community garden. I've witnessed firsthand in my own garden how growing vegetables yourself can really encourage you to not only eat more vegetables, but try new varieties you may have passed up in the farmer's market — what a neat idea to give this experience to others who may not have had the chance before!
