One person can make a difference! It starts with you!

Literally! This is a must see Ted Talk!




A couple facts I picked up from earth911.


13 billion pounds of paper towels are used in the U.S. every year. If all Americans used one less paper towel a day, 571,230,000 pounds of paper would be spared over the course of the year. One man has a simple strategy to make it happen.


And believe it or not....


The problems with paper towels are many-fold: they don’t contain significant amounts of fiber for recycling and when they’re dirty or wet, they degrade even further and become non-recyclable. And paper towels soaked in oils, pet or baby waste or other harmful substances should be steered clear of the compost pile.


It all starts or ends with you! I love the concept and the action of everyone can make a change!
