Last year I wrote about ways we strive to reduce, reuse and recycle. This year I thought I would share some links to some of my posts on this topic.
Before I share the links I thought I would give you an example of something we do every day that reduces the amount of trash we produce.
We use cloth napkins instead of paper napkins. We keep a basket of cloth napkins on our kitchen table so they are easily accessible. They aren’t fancy, but definitely serve their purpose. Some of the napkins were given to us, some I made, and some I purchased in like-new condition at a yard sale.
For my younger children I use washcloths instead of napkins. They are all green so that they are easy to identify as kitchen washcloths when putting away the laundry. We also try to use cloth towels instead of paper towels whenever possible which also cuts down on paper waste.
Do you use cloth napkins? If not, I suggest giving it a try. They don’t cause me to do any extra laundry since I always do at least one load of towels and washcloths a week anyway.
Now, here are the links I promised. I think there are probably a few posts that I didn’t link to, but this is a pretty big list as it is. Maybe you will find a project that you can try to help reduce, reuse, or recycle something in your home.
Do you have any great ideas for reducing, reusing or recycling? I would love to hear from you.
I am linking this post to Works for Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family.
