A Month of Reducing - Reduce Disposables

Reduce the disposables. Yeah, I know paper plates are nice for picnics, but do you need them every day? What about paper napkins? Cloth napkins are just as easy. You just toss them in the laundry instead of the trash. Paper towels? Rags work fine. Toilet paper? Eh, that's going a little too far..... Bring a coffee mug to work and Starbucks instead of using their Styrofoam cups. Get a Hello Kitty lunch box (or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, if you aren't so fond of pink) instead of a paper bag for your lunch. Every disposable product has a reusable counterpart. Be creative.
