Since many eco-friendly materials are still more expensive than conventional finishes, if you can spend less on the cabinets, that lets you spend more for greener things like bamboo or concrete countertops, & recycled glass mosaic tile backsplashes.
I usually start my designs with IKEA cabinets so the budget can do just that.
