Page B10 The Castlegar Sun Wednesday, November 22, 1995 CASTLEGAR HOMEFINDERS Designing your kitchen for the environment In years past, the job of preserving the Earth seemed to belong to a few select and dedicated envi- ronmentalists. In recent years, however, many main- stream Americans have joined in the cause to pre- serve the planet. This is seen in all facets of life, including the design of the kitchen Today, many homeowners are incorporat- ing environmentally-friendly products into their kitchens According to Annette DePaepe, CKD, CBD, director of societies for the National Kitchen and Bath Association, environmentally-friendly kitchens are rapidly growing in number. “More and more people are concerned with the environment and that concern has manifested itself in kitchen design. There has been a steady increase in the 3 past few years in requests for ~ environmentally-safe prod- ucts and design.” One area of concern is appliances. Stoves, for example, can waste a lot of 2317 - 6th Ave.,.Castiegar, B.C. VIN 2W1 Phone: (604) 365-7844 Fax: (604) 365-7850 electricity. New energy-effi cient models are available that will save 10° percent more fuel than the older models. Whether you decide on a new stove or you are keeping your current one, try using an extractor fan and a hood over the stove This will help limit the amount of, carbon monox- ide, nitrogen dioxide and other pollutants from escap- ing into the air. It will also help limit cooking odors. Other appliances, such as freezers and dishwashers, have also become more energy-efficient. Freezers that use significantly less electricity afe now avail- able, and manufacturers are producing dishwashers that use about half.as much water as the older models Another aspect of the environmental movement that has had a profound effect on the kitchen is recycling. In the past few years, many people have begun recycling, either by choice or because the law requires it. This trend, and its effect, was apparent in a recent survey conducted by the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) According to the survey, 44 percent of all kitchen pro jects completed last year included recycling consider- ations. This was up from 37 percent the previous year. DePaepe says it’s not hard to understand the requests for designs including recy- cling plans. “Separating paper from plastic may be good for the environment, but it can disrupt the climate of your kitchen,” she says “Recycling often requires a lot of space — and most of us don’t have room to spare in our kitchens.” Saving the envirénment shouldn’t mean that you have to live with stacks of newspapers block- ing your doorway and boxes full of noisy cans and bottles taking up valuable floor or counter space. A kitchen remodel can help make recycling easy. In the past few years, as demand for recycling fea- tures has grown, manufactur- ers and designers have been design that they follow are also changing. When the NKBA released its revised 31 rising to the challenge. One cabinet manufacturer, for example, has retrofitted it's pull-out waste baskets to include side-by-side trash receptacles for recyclable and non-recyclable items. It seems that there is a market for such products, too. According to the NKBA sur- vey, 40 percent of all kitchen Rules of Kitchen Design in 1992 (a series of guidelines for the planning of safe and efficient kitchens):a new rule was added that stated, “At least two waste receptacles must be included in the plan, one for garbage and one for recyclables; or other recycling facilities should be planned.” To meet this requirement, projects completed last year included recycling bins. Designers and the rules of designers are incorporating built-in features that are space-saving and convenient. 5 YR.
