Though for the time being I’m an apartment dweller, I dream of the day when I can have my own little house. I’m always day dreaming about what improvement I’ll make to it such as tearing out all the carpet and replacing it with bamboo flooring.
Yesterday I got my daily news letter from Ideal Bite and it included ideas for eco-friendly countertops. I have two favorites. The first one, Vetrazzo, uses recycled glass chips and concrete. The results are gorgeous pieces full of color. I’m a fan of bistro green. Of course something this gorgeous will not cheap, it runs $125-$150 a square foot.

The second one I loved was Terra Green Ceramics. These are also made with 55% recycled glass and come in different sized tiles. I’m a fan of Terra Fusion and Terra Crackle. These tiles are priced more reasonably than that the product above. I could see using them in more places around the home because of that.
If you are considering remodeling your home or just making a few changes here and there why not try something that is good for the environment? Choose something that is reclaimed and prevent stuff from filling our landfills.
Hey. In searching for recycled glass counter top sources in Bellingham I came upon your blog. So far in my research of counter top choices I have found recycled glass to be by far the most responsible option. I was wondering if you had found any direct sellers in the Bellingham area? Thanks for reviewing such a great product and for helping people make educated, responsible choices! ~Clara
You know I can’t say that I know of any. I would always check the Re-Store though, they are a goldmine and might have something nifty now and again!
