During an average year, an American uses approximately 2,200 napkins — around six each day. If everyone in the U.S. used one less napkin a day, more than a billion pounds of napkins could be saved from landfills each year. Make DIY cloth napkins.
What other “U”-things can you do to protect the earth?

thanks for the info;)
Thanks for the info.
Definitely very good idea. Maybe we should start a petition on the subject. The use of hemp would be really great. Years ago in Peru, under Velasco's dictatorship, toilet paper was made out of sugarcane. Not very soft though, mind you. However, I know that now technology has improved so much that we could make it softer.

Don't buy napkins! More useless paper product. use a paper towel! Cloth napkins are okay but they get dirty. Especially when you're eating spaghetti sauce. So they stain and wind up in the trash. Not practical. One disposable paper towel is all you need.
I happened to see this post and now I am eager to read the rest of the alphabet! :)
