Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 29, 2008 -- ALNO -- a premiere kitchen cabinet manufacturer -- hosted a press breakfast Saturday, April 12 at their Chicago-based showroom, and building scientist and green architect Peter Pfeiffer spoke on key ways to green the kitchen. Having implemented ALNO kitchen cabinet systems in a green home he designed in Austin, which was recently completed on Earth Day, Pfeiffer choose ALNO for their quality product, but also for their use of incredibly green materials and manufacturing processes.

With over 50 editors, writers and reporters in attendance the ALNO showroom in Chicago's design district was bustling at the early hour of 8:30 a.m. Using a working ALNO kitchen, a chef was on hand to prepare crepes, while Pfeiffer took the foreground to discuss why the kitchen is the most energy-consuming room in the home, and what homeowners can do lessen its load.

My hope was that the journalists would leave feeling more informed about the importance of incorporating green elements in the kitchen, as this is something designers, architects and homeowners need to know about

A lot of companies hold press events only to promote their product; we wanted to do something different. Our aim was to give reporters objective, factual information, which will enlighten their audience and serve as a call to action.
