Need some ideas on how to go green in the kitchen? DDK Kitchen Design Group in Glenview has installed an ecofriendly kitchen in the ABT Electronics showroom. The kitchen features solid bamboo cabinetry, stools of renewable monkey pod wood, Vetrazzo recycled glass countertops, Paperstone tabletops, recycled leather wall tiles, low-VOC paint, and LED undercabinet lighting, which uses virtually no energy. DDK’s president, Dan Thompson, says the kitchen meets and exceeds the LEED program’s standards for green kitchens. He believes it could be the greenest display anywhere.
