How To Make Your Kitchen Remodel More Eco-Friendly

Remodeling your kitchen? It’s the perfect time to make choices that are better for the planet and last longer. Experts say the most sustainable remodels start with one simple idea: design a space you’ll still love in 10 or 20 years. That means skipping short-lived trends and choosing materials that hold up over time.

Consider using reclaimed cabinets, countertops, or vintage furniture. These give your kitchen a unique look without creating more waste. You can also opt for low-VOC paints, sustainably sourced wood, or materials like bamboo and cork that are better for indoor air and renew quickly.

Even smaller swaps help: LED lights, energy-efficient appliances, organic textiles like tea towels or curtains, and vintage cookware are all great upgrades. And if a full remodel isn’t in the cards, just start slow. Replacing one thing at a time still moves you in the right direction toward a kitchen that’s beautiful, functional, and better for the Earth.

Sunset of the Day in San Pablo Bay

The Canopy reader Theresa sent in this calm, glowing view over San Pablo Bay, the northern reach of San Francisco Bay. A soft band of clouds stretches low across the sky, just above the horizon’s warm orange and gold. It’s the kind of light that feels like a quiet exhale at the end of the day.

Thanks to Theresa for sending this in. If you’ve captured a sunset that made you stop and breathe a little deeper, we’d love to see it too!

How Influencers Are Shaping a Greener Future

You might not expect it, but your favorite creators could be helping the planet more than you think. From rewearing outfits to cooking plant-based meals, influencers are showing millions of followers how to live more sustainably, without making it feel overwhelming. Even climate scientists now say creators play a big role in changing habits for the better.

Take an influencer who started the hashtag #OOOTD (“old outfit of the day”) to celebrate rewearing clothes. Or creators who talk about composting, ditching fast fashion, or biking instead of driving. These ideas spread fast when they come from someone we relate to or admire.

The key? It doesn’t have to be perfect. These creators aren’t pushing guilt. They’re showing that small choices matter. When something eco-friendly feels normal, fun, or even stylish, we’re more likely to try it too.

Don’t Let Stigma Hold You Back
