Thinking about slapping a granite counter into your new green Austin renovation project? Think again!
Here’s an interesting article about the choice of countertop in your kitchen and how material choice affects the potential bacterial hotspot in your kitchen:

Granite: Healthy and Wise?
You can check out a list of green countertop alternatives at the GreenHomeGuide or this list at The Kitchen Designer.
Focus on recycled or renewable materials like recycled glass, rather than compressed magma. Unless you happen to live near an active volcano.

Very cool. Eco-friendly countertops are definitely the way to go and they are affordable compared to high-end granite. Here is one of the companies that I’ve looked at but there are many more.
Garreth, thanks for the props! You have a very nice looking blog here. I have a wordpress blog for a non-profit that I write for and I really love it. Let me know how this works for biz.
Hi,
Thanks for writing such an interesting article. It’s really good to know about the real estate and home insurance in detail. Buying or renting a new residence is best done with the help of an experienced Houston Home Insurance Agent. Every mortgage lender, for example, requires the purchase of homeowner’s insurance (often abbreviated HOI) as a condition of their loan. Insurance can help keep your home and future safe and secure.
Imagine what would happen if you were uninsured and suffered a massive fire in your home. Without a policy from your local Houston Home Insurance Agent, everything you love and all that you’ve worked for would literally go up in smoke. A homeowner’s policy is an important and responsible way to keep your home and your finances safe from unprecedented disaster.
Thanks,
