Top Eco-friendly kitchen countertops

Often times just adding a coat of paint to old cabinets and replacng the beat up countertop you have, is enough to make a dramatic change to a dull, dated kitchen. I have put together a list of countertops that are both attractive and eco-friendly to help you make you selections.
Vetrazzo is a recycled glass mixed with cement, concrete or resin. Any color you might see glass in, is available in this very cool, very modern countertop. The cement can also be stained to add more drama. http://www.vetrazzo.com/ starts at $55 per square foot
Bamboo wood made from fast growing bamboo and cut into small rectangles on the end grain for a dramitic update to standard wood tops http://www.plyboo.com/ from around $23 per square foot
Paperstone recycled paper in a resin base. Comes in a range of colors and thicknesses and is heat and stain resistant! http://www.paperstoneproducts.com/ starts at around $30 per square foot
Eleek a recycled aluminum http://www.eleek.com/ starts at around $39 per square foot

So, check out these great resources for your next kitchen project.
