We have been keeping track of how many paper towels we use each week and while we have cut down a lot by using cloth napkins in our lunches and rags for cleaning, we took it one step further and we did not buy any paper towel this week at all and instead we purchased some new cloth napkins to replace the paper napkins we were still using at dinner. With no paper towels in the house at all, we figure we will have to come up with another option and now have a pile of old tea towels and flannel rags in the kitchen for spills.
