Remember the old days when we didn't run to the store to buy a case of paper towels? And who would have thought that we would actually be paying to drink water from disposable plastic bottle, when we have perfectly good water available right out of our kitchen tap? Oh, I know it's convenient to take the bottle with you, but have you ever heard of a thermos? It keeps liquids cold or hot and best of all it is reusable.
Well, I remember not having an abundance of paper towels to go through. Instead we used "rags" yes, rags. We would use them to clean our windows, counters, floors, mirrors, furniture even sop up messy spills! Then we put them in laundry washed and "air dried" them using clothes pins-(I think they still make them) on the clothes line. Then we reused them.
Result:
- spend less money
- use less energy (air dry vs. dryer)
- fewer trips to the store, save gasoline
- zero plastic bottles, better for the enviornment
