Use dish towels instead. Did you know if every household in the U.S. replaced just one roll of 180-sheet virgin-fiber paper towels with 100-percent recycled paper towels, we could save: 1.4 million trees, 3.7 million cubic feet of landfill space, and 526 million gallons of water, and prevent 89,400 pounds of pollution?
My favorite: When you are done with cloth diapers or burp clothes, reuse them for household cleaning. They are relatively low on dust and leave no streaks on glass!
