What are a few "Green" Kitchen things worth registering for?

It really depends what you need. Most couples today already have dishes, glasses etc. so think about registering for a few special items. Perhaps you have always wanted a dishwasher or a convection oven? If so - use the Energy Star program to find energy efficient models (which, in addition to being better for the environment will save you money in the long run) and use a tool with a partial purchase option like Felicite.com to register for larger gifts. For gorgeous serving platters, recycled glasses and more try Viva Terra.

Gaiam is a good source for useful kitchen wares like composting bins, recycling systems and water purifiers. They also have wonderful sustainable wood products (like the bowl in the picture above). I found this coupon for their site this month: Free Shipping – no minimum order. Use coupon EASTER. Expires 33108 For glassware, try to buy recycled products whenever possible, like these Recycled Glass Tumblers from Green Feet. Bamboo products, like this Bamboo Cutting Board are another good choice, because bamboo is fast growing, sturdy and comparatively sustainable. It is also important to choose products that will last a long time (and preferably come with lifetime warranties), like Wusthof knives or a Kitchen Aid mixer. You can register for these items through Amazon.
