From CHOW.com comes "Counter Measures: Ten Ways to Green Your Kitchen", with a "Top Ten" list, of sorts, of ways to make your kitchen a little greener. Included on the list are the results of dishwasher vs. hand-washing water-usage throw-down, ideas for choosing the right pans, tips for cooking with energy efficiency in mind and more. Our favorite: stock your fridge. That's right; "...a full refrigerator uses less energy than an empty one: Every time you open and close the door, the fridge has to kick in to reregulate its temperature. If there’s food in there already, there’s less outside air introduced, therefore less outside air that needs to be cooled." Check out the full list at [CHOW.com] via [Apartment Therapy]
