Cloth Napkins Are A Greener Choice (And Did We Say More Creative?)

Napkin Folding Ideas For The Holidays.

If you are eco conscious, cloth napkins can be a better alternative to paper products for the table. Make your table greener and more festive this holiday with folded napkins. Buy them new, or better yet, buy or use an heirloom. 

I love cloth napkins, it's a little like playing house, and I tend to use them even on picnics! The fact that they are green is a plus.  While looking for alternative ways to fold them, I found some great holiday ideas that are colorful and clever to help you make your table setting one that your holiday guests will never forget!

How to Recycle it, Sell it, Swap it or Give it Away.

How, why, when, where to recycle just about anything!

Who would want it you wonder?

It's amazing. But it really is true: One man's trash is another man's treasure!

You might think "No one would want this!" But chances are there is someone out there willing to take just about any item off your hands and save it from the landfill. That's a good thing because we can use that space for beautiful things like flowers and trees!

Did you know you could swap books online? Your local library takes old reading glasses? You can set up a textbook recycle at your college? 

So, next time you are looking to lighten your load, check our list of places and it will be a simple task to hand that stuff over. Learn everything you ever wanted to about how, when, where to dispose of anything…Swap, Sell, Donate, more. Learn who to call to come get it, who the resources are, and where to find them. The complete guides are here:

• Recycle it -The Complete Guide
• Have The Best Swap Ever
• Have A Free For All
• Have The Best Yard Sale, Boot Sale, Fundraiser Ever
