<h3>Reclaimed Material or FSC Certified</h3>
<p>If you are going with wood cabinets, look for those made out of reclaimed wood or are certified by the Forest Steward Council (FSC) as being grown and harvested in a sustainable manner.</p>
<p>You can also look for alternate materials such as wheat board or bamboo.  Wheat board is a compressed plant material and bamboo is actually a grass.  Be a bit more environmentally friendly in your kitchen by starting with “greening” up your cabinets.</p>
<p>Discover an extensive selection of <a title="kitchen cabinets" href="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/" target="_blank">kitchen cabinets</a> of all different types, sizes, styles and materials. You can save up to 50% off retail when you purchase kitchen cabinets through <a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/" target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1094" style="margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;" title="bamboo" src="http://www.directkitchencabinets.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bamboo.jpg" alt="bamboo" width="246" height="323" />Going “Green” is the latest trend amongst home owners who are looking for eco-friendly ways to remodel and enhance their home. Kitchen cabinets are the latest home improvement product to fall in the eco-home improvement department.</p>
<p>While your options vary, there are two primary types of eco-friendly material for kitchen cabinets: bamboo and wheat board.</p>
<h3>Bamboo and Wheat Board are Eco-Friendly Choices</h3>
<p>Bamboo comes in various stains and grains and no two variations are the same so you get the same unique options as traditional wood cabinets. It also regenerates quickly and can be harvested without damaging the root system so it can grow and gathered over and over.</p>
<h3>Wheat Board</h3>
<p>Wheat board is made out of wheat straw, a waste by-product of the farming industry. This saves tons of waste from going into landfills. Wheat board is eco-friendly, yet durable enough to hold screws and nails.</p>
<p><a title="DirectBuy" href="http://www.directhomediscount.com/ " target="_blank">DirectBuy</a> offers a wide selection of kitchen cabinets in most any style or type you can imagine – all from leading manufacturers and all at prices up to 50% off retail.
