Earth Day

Over the past several years I have been doing what I can to cut back on my waste and to help the environment. Each year I try to cut back more and more. Last week as I reached up for a roll of paper towels it hit me. I thought about the amount of waste I use each year with paper towels. Why waste the paper? And more important why waste the money in buying paper towels. It is all foolish, if you ask me. My Mother has supplied me with enough dish rags and towels to last a life time. So no more paper towels for me. And before you say it, I will not be washing any additional loads of laundry to wash the dish towels. I will just throw in the dish towels in with my regular laundry and use no additional water. It all seems very simple and everyone should try to do it. And in addition, I have started using cloth napkins as well. It looks like my Mom has set me up with lots of cloth napkins as well. Go Green!
