Thoughts & Tips

Why? here's just a few reasons
- 13 billion pounds of paper towel are used each year in the US... paper makes up the biggest part of US waste coming from homes.
- 110 million trees...and 130 billion gallons of water consumed per year to produce paper towels.
- If each US household swapped 1 roll of paper towels to 100% recycled we would save 54,000 trees.
- As of 2018, the U.S. paper plate and cup market was worth $20.7 billion, making the country one of the largest consumers.
Remember - If you can't recycle it, try composting it!

Frank R - I felt compelled to do something for this upcoming Earth Day and Lets Get Frank was the results of some serious brainstorming. Thanks to everyone for their help and collaboration and together I know we can make a difference. Hope to see you at a Wet Towel Toss soon!

Be proud of yourself for trying because anything you do helps all of us.
I've been practicing before hand and you can too. Get used to what it takes so you're ready to give me a run for my money on Earth Day.
Sponges, kitchen towels and regular plates make a great first choice.
Click the RSVP button to register and again to let me know your out. I'll keep track and will also post the top 5 conserves with their permission of course.
The Instagram account will have regular postings and updates as well.
Remember we're in this together and I want all of you win, which you do just by participating!
Make it work for you. I'm not removing any of the items from my home or moving them from sight, but you sure can.
