Back in the 19th century people would never have guessed that there would be a napkin that would only be used once. Instead they used a cloth to pick up spills and messes. Today people use paper towels to pick up spills and throw them away without even thinking about it. Using paper towels without thinking about it isn’t smart. Using a reusable rag saves paper (trees) and keeps stuff out of the dump. We found a web site, Ecoproducts, which sells napkins made from recycled paper. They also sell forks, spoons and knives made from potato starch, which makes them compostable. And plates made from sugarcane fibers which are also biodegradable. For your next barbeque make it more eco-friendly and use these utensils and plates instead of what you always use. This is one way you can make a difference. Eco-products web site is: http://www.ecoproducts.com/.
Did you know…..Only 13% of water bottles are recycled by being made into other materials? (info from NRDC-Natural Resources Defense Council) We suggest using your local tap water and fill a reusable bottle. We found a web site, http://www.reusablebags.com/, where you can buy fun and funky bottles for kids.
