2010 Idea Home: Smart Ideas for Eco-Friendly Decorating

We redesigned the Museum of Science and Industry's green Smart Home in Chicago. Step inside for ideas to make your home greener, whether you're building, remodeling or decorating.

Eco-friendly kitchen

Idea Home: Our kitchen shows that eco-friendly choices can have style. These rich-color cabinets are made from sustainably harvested wood, formaldehyde-free particleboard and zero-VOC sealant. The countertops were made in Chicago from locally recycled glass. All Bosch appliances exceed Energy Star requirements.

Your home: When you replace an appliance, buy Energy Star-rated options. Energy Star products saved consumers nearly $17 billion on their utility bills in 2009, along with conserving massive amounts of energy.
