30 WAYS TO SAVE PAPER

Actually, we will start with 3 ways.

1. Use rags or kitchen towels instead of paper towels.

2. Avoid using paper plates and cups. Use, durable, washable ones whenever possible. If you must use paper, try to buy those made with recycled content.

3. Use your own reusable bag at all stores and skip both paper and plastic. Keep an extra, already-used, bag or two in your car (or purse) for shopping. OR just refuse a bag when offered when buying just one or two items.

This is a great website to generate ideas for environmentally-friendly ways to get involved: https://www.smallfootprintfamily.com/how-to-remember-your-reusable-bags
