I was watching a show a little while ago where they were talking about reducing your carbon footprint. I’m probably a little bit more interested in saving the planet than most of the people that I know, so I paid attention to the show to see if there was something I could do that I haven’t been doing to reduce our carbon footprint. They suggested using cloth napkins instead of paper napkins as much as possible.
Well, I’m really not sure exactly how much “energy” using cloth napkins will save because in my experience you have to wash and iron them. I’m thinking that the “energy” used to wash and iron them might be a larger carbon footprint than using paper napkins. What do you think?
