Be a part of the Treehood

A new week brings a new challenge.

Paper is often consumed more for convenience than necessity. Much of our paper products are still not made from recycled paper. To reduce your use of paper and the costs of it, reduce your paper towel and napkin consumption.

Buy some cloth napkins and use these for meals. They can be stored at the table or in the kitchen and can be used many times before needing a wash. We have a set with our initials written on the tag with a Sharpie. So we know who's is who's at each meal.

Also, you can cut up old, worn-out clothes into rags to use to clean instead of paper towels. Again, once they are soiled, you can throw them in the washer with other towels and napkins without wasting paper.
