Up until about a year ago, we used paper napkins at mealtimes. This is the same principle as not using paper towels. Rather than using disposable paper napkins, use cloth napkins instead. Cloth napkins can be expensive at some stores. I found a set of 10 napkins at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Each individual napkin cost $1.00. So, even though they cost me $20.00 for twenty, I know that I won't have to buy paper napkins again. We only have to wash them about once a week.
