Did you how much you can save by using reusable towels instead of paper towels? Not to mention the environmental cost, just money alone. For example, if you have a family of four and go through 2 medium rolls each week at the retail price of $3.15. With 52 weeks a year, you can save $163.80.
Try one great idea and then you can find out the practical use of savings. Get a jar and each time you skip the paper towel purchase, put the savings into the jar. By the year end, go out and spend that money on whatever you want. For the family and for the children. There’s even a better way to do this, ask each member of the household to get a jar and every time someone saves by reusing, put the savings into the jar. And that person gets to keep that money.
I teach tennis and volleyball in Oak Ridge. I’m seeking local sponsors to help me purchase event prizes; prizes that promote recycling. Reusable water bottles and Frogg Toggs are the two I currently use as part of my GREEN GRASS ROOTS GRAND PRIX for both sports in our community. I need help with statistics illustrating how the reusable Toggs (as bath towels) will save laundering costs/resources. I’d appreciate your feedback.
