Tips for Green Living – New Series – Cloth Napkins

I’m starting a new series on Going Green. I’ve always meant to do this, but somehow never did it regualry. Well starting today, every Friday you will get 1-2 tips on Going Green. I may include tips on other days, but definitly on Friday.

Paper napkins – get rid of them! I decided about 9 months ago we were going to start using cloth napkins. I had a few in the closet and went to the craft store, bought material and made a few more. Everyone loved them, except my husband. He kept a few paper napkins to use for himself.


I talked to him about it and found out he’d like them to be smaller and have more of them. So smaller and more I did!

I even make them for the holidays!! Linen is the best, but can be pricey. I found some beautiful, brown, textured linen on clearance, that I love the best. It’s good for the environment and will save you money too!

    Great Post! We have been using cloth napkins for years. Our grandchildren have grown up knowing no paper napkins at grandmas house. They always say how "fancy" it is. We have been teaching our grandchildren about green living since they were very tiny. All five of them!
