"These I actually use in my house and they are wonderful because they are bigger than the regular napkins, the paper napkins. They cost very little to buy and I have had them for years and years and years and I actually they don't require any extra water as far as I'm concerned as far as washing them up because I am already doing laundry of towels or whatever so I just through them in and the kids actually like them a lot better too because they don't have to use as many, they're much more durable. You could probably put this in the kid's lunch box. Oh sure! And the same goes like with a handkerchief instead of using tissue all the time. It's almost like everything is going back to retro. Kind of the old school type thing. Cyramics and silverware. It's kind of a new hip kind of thing to do. There are a lot of very simple things on a daily basis that we can do to minimize our use of renewable products, trees, and that. I know even if I do buy plastic spoons and forks I'll re use them. I stick them in the dishwasher. You can, they probably don't recommend it, but there's an extended life there. So these are just a few simple things that people can do. The other thing is reusing your canvass bags for all different types of purposes with your kids, carrying products, going to the store, grocery shopping and those type of things. So very easy fix to make a difference. "
