Eco-friendly Countertop Choices - Alternatives to Granite

There seems to be much discussion as of late as to whether granite is a "green" choice for a countertop material or not. In my opinion, given water usage and material waste, most likely not. Also, granite, although now considered a standard, is perhaps reaching its peak in popularity and more and more people are looking for alternatives that are affordable. Please click here for a great article on a few good options.
