Green is always a good color for the kitchen. Whether it is the color of the food on your plate, or if it's decreasing your carbon footprint, going green in the kitchen is very easy. All it takes is a few minor adjustments and you will see yourself saving some of the green in your wallet. Here are a few tips.

1. It's time to ditch the bottled water. It's pricey and uses a lot of fuel to make and transport.

2. Buy locally. Find farmer's markets and co-ops in your area for great selections of organic or locally grown produce and goods. It's healthier and reduces the amount of fuel used to transport goods.

3. Use real dishes. Instead of relying on single use containers just wash and reuse the ones you have.

4. Buy in bulk, or buy items that have little packaging. Select items that have less plastic and extra fillers stuffed inside.
