Why Sustainable Home Goods
As a mom to five children, I’m acutely aware of the waste that our large household generates. Paper products, specifically paper towels, seemed to comprise a large amount of our kitchen trash. Three years ago, I decided to experiment with replacing our household paper towels with a cloth alternative. After many trials, I came up with a cotton towel solution and wanted to share.
Several facts motivated me to change our family’s environmental impact.
*The average American uses 80 rolls of paper towels annually
*U.S. households use 13 billion pounds of paper towels a year
*Paper towels are not recyclable
*We would have to plant 51,000 trees a day to produce the amount of paper towels consumed in the U.S.
*In 2018, paper towels were the 3rd largest volume item in landfills and take 2-6 weeks to break down
Join us and make the switch to a reusable, sustainable cotton alternative
