Switch to cloth rags instead of paper towels.
Green Impact: helps reduce deforestation caused by manufacturing paper towels; reduced polution/energy impact in manufacturing & shipping as a result of multi-use item vs. single use item; reduced paper in landfill.
Other Personal Benefit: you'll recoup your investment by not purchasing single use paper towels.
Greenest: Use organic cotton or other eco-friendly fiber cloths (http://www.simplefamilyliving.com/products.asp?pid=299&cat=36&mode=open)
Eco Gift Tip: Tie up a stack of cloth cleaning rags in fun colors as a great housewarming gift (colors to match the home) or baby present (colors to match the baby's theme).
Greenest Gift Tip: Wrap gifts in cloth cleaning rags & be sure to let the recipient know that the wrapping is part of the gift in more ways than one! Nothing beats giving friends and family a manageable piece of the green pie!
