Tip of the Day: Bring your own cloth napkin
Bring your own cloth napkin when eating on-the-go.
Throw a cloth napkin into your bag for those on-the-go meals, especially during the work week. If the average employee used a cloth napkin instead of, let's say, three of those cheapie disposable napkins at lunch each day, they would save about 750 napkins a year, per person.
Added bonus: With that cloth napkin, you can pretend you are actually eating in a fine restaurant instead of the company cafeteria.
If you really want to cut down on disposables while eating out, try one of these To-Go Ware portable utensil kits. Made of bamboo with a lovely cloth holder that is made by WEAVE, a women's cooperative on the Thai-Burma border, you'll feel much better about your meal than chucking those one-use plastic utensils. And of course, don't forget your reusable cup!

I'm all for cuuting down on the use of unnecessary paper. However, it's just more sanitary to use a paper napkin and throw it out. What's next, reusing snotty cloth hankerchiefs? A little common sense!

If that cloth napkin is not laudered after each use, that's unsanitary. I don't know if it's better to wash,dry,and iron a cloth napkin or use a paper one. What's next, reusing a snotty cloth hankerchief? One use paper products have cut down on disease spread.
