Thanks for posting these great tips on remodeling green. Eventually, being environmentally sensitive won’t be such a niche topic. One important way to limit your environmental impact during remodeling is to minimize the amount of demolition waste you create, as well as the amount of waste from poor planning of your new materials. Rather than replacement, wood cabinets in the kitchen and vanities in the bathrooms can be cleaned up with lemon oil, or sanded and restained or painted, with only non-toxic materials, then adorned with new hardware to give them a fresh look. Also, when using wood for framing or cabinetry, choose wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, which means it comes from a well managed forest. You can find many more tips (including green tips from a prominent player in the green construction space from Building Green TV) on my blog.
