Today’s Tip from The Green Year: 365 Small Things You Can Do to Make a Big Difference: Use cloth napkins at dinner.
“The average American uses 2, 200 two-ply paper napkins per year. Switch to cloth napkins and you’ll keep more than 662 billion paper napkins out of the trash.
Choose cloth napkins made from organic cotton, which is grown without harmful pesticides. You can be even more eco-friendly by washing your napkins in cold water and hanging them to dry. If you must use paper napkins, make sure they’re made from 100% recycled paper content”
