My daughter gave me some bamboo towels which we have been using and then washing. We do not have paper towels in the house, which feels great.

REFLECTION QUESTIONMaterials Recycle Everything I CanHow could you incorporate other "R's" -- reduce, reuse, refuse, repair, repurpose, etc. -- into your lifestyle? How does considering implementing these "R's" make you feel?

My daughter gave me some bamboo towels which we have been using and then washing. We do not have paper towels in the house, which feels great.
