Three new green countertops
In yesterday's Post, Katherine Salant profiles three new countertop materials: IceStone, Bio-Glass and Eco.
Her article ("New shades of green for your kitchen") was in the Real Estate section.
IceStone is made from concrete with bits of recycled glass in it; Bio-Glass from recycled bottles; and Eco from recycled glass, porcelain, stones and ash. All three products sounded expensive ($80-$160 per square foot), but if you can afford one of them, they're worth considering.
Have you bought green furnishings for your kitchen? Tell me about it!

I have not bought any green furnishings for my kitchen BUT I do save old jars from Baby Food, Spaghetti Sauce and jam to use as glasses after I am done with them. They add a funky aspect to meals and save on buying new glasses. Plus, if they break, it is no big deal because they were not expensive.

Great idea, Natalie! That's an excellent way to reuse stuff. We sometimes do that with plastic deli or carry-out containers and reuse them to store leftovers.
Thanks for the comment!
