Maybe even a place to grow greens all year. Open shelves are another alternative to cabinets. Mine came from the local sawmill. The front edge is uneven where the bark was, for a rustic look. My floors are brick, which is practically indestructable and also acts as a heat sink for heat from the sun coming in the big south windows.

Look for re-use building supply places, craigslist, etc. I found mine for $10 at a contractor's garage sale! Also, think about just painting your old cabinets (and/or just replace the doors) to save money. Re-use is the best way to go green and save a bundle. Cast iron sinks are easy to find used.

Cast iron sinks contain quite a bit of recycled material, but can often cost much more. Although I haven't seen one, Silestone can make a sink out of their countertop materials, a couple of which have a high percentage of recycled content.
