Here's a quick and easy challenge for August. Cut down your paper towel usage by at least half.
* Cut up your husband's old stained shirts or old towels and make rags.
*Use cloth napkins at dinner. Get a set of individually unique napkin rings so that each member of the family can reuse their napkin a few times before washing.
* Put the paper towels away so that you are less likely to grab one for a quick clean up.
You'll save money and trees!
If you MUST buy paper towels, read the label and buy those made with recycled paper. Remember, The "quicker picker upper" doesn't pick up with paper alone. Chemicals are what make your paper towels so hardy.
If every household in the U.S. switched even one roll of paper towels to recycled, they would save approximately 544,000 trees!
BE CLEAN AND BE GREEN!! Happy August!

This month's challenge has inspired me to make more reusuable diaper wipes with baby wash cloths! I will put away the paper towels and get out the cloth serviettes.
Newspaper (instead of paper towel) and vinegar is great for cleaning windows.
cool!
