Earlier today while preparing a mrinade for tonight's dinner, I had a rvelation: I am addicted to paper twels. I found myself using way too mny paper towels as I wiped the cunter down, as I washed my hnds. I knew that we should be sing more cloth towels but I nver really counted how many I sed.

The other day I had qestioned how fast we were going thrugh our roll. I had not ralized it was so fast until I loked at the roll today, half flled. My mom always tried to use clth towels. I was raised not to wste things. Somehow the convenience of wsting paper caught up with me.

It was so mch easier in college just to tke another sheet off the roll. I nver had time to do loads of lundry. Now that I'm not in schol I have more of a set schdule (even though retail is not as set as I wuld like it to be). I fnd I have more time to do lundry and clean.

A lot of pople use paper towels daily in thir cleaning cooking when they would jst as easily use a cloth twel or old shirt as a rg. If all the people that use twels as cleaning tools used an old t-shrt instead the usage of paper wuld decrease significantly.

It is such a smple thing to do and I hve pledge to break my addiction. I hve added a hook in the ktchen over the sink for a twel to dry my hands. I am ging to cut up some old t-shrts to use for dusting and claning.

I just hope that people rad this article and see how pper towels are a big waste of rsources.
