I am redoing three kitchen's countertops and am looking for ideas for do-it-yourself, reasonably priced and low maintenance green materials. Any ideas?

There's a waste mgmt guy in mt pleasant, sc that tumbles broken glass and uses it as tile.
While trying to find a link for that, I came across someone who used tumbled sea glass.
Either sound pretty and are green.

I'm thinking of making some out of laminated recycled fir/larch 2x4s. Use it as a big cutting board - gives it good character. You can refinish it over and over with oil, and when you're tired of it, you can burn it for heat, compost it, or whatever. Can't get much greener than that.
