Eco Tip of the Week - Ban The Paper Goods!

So you've nixed the plastics, now it's time to phase out the paper goods, too!  As your supply starts getting low, it's time to start looking for cloth/fabric replacements.  As for paper plate substitutes? Use your dishes or grandma's china!


Or try some of the following ideas:
**Look for sales after holidays on cloth napkins and hand towels.
**Shop secondhand stores.
**Peruse local garage sales.
**Check with mom (or dad), it's amazing what they find in their linen drawer!
**Make your own napkins out of fabric remnants.
**Make your own towels out of old t-shirts & thermal shirts.

The forests will thank you!
