    I started making my own "unpaper" towels -- They are of similar size & weight of regular paper towels and are made from sturdy, yet lightweight birdseye cotton. Just wipe & toss . . .in the laundry, that is! You can take a look at the "unpaper" towels and the especially designed "unpaper" towel dispenser/holder made by my husband and myself.

    We don't use paper towels or napkins anymore! (Well, with rare exception of bacon grease! :-)

    I am working on greening up my house. I refuse to use papertowels, I took a few buck went to the dollar store bought several pack of cheap wash clothes in a variety of bright colors, the kids will only use their favorite colors. We use some for cleaning and some for wiping our hands. When they get old, I use them for dish clothes. I also changed all my light bulbs to energy effience lights and noticed aprox $50.00 decrease in my light bill every month ( you know kids every light on). I have also bought a tankless hotwater heater and we will be installing it soon. I,ll let you know how it goes.
