Water, paper and waste

It has been three years and three months since I purchased paper towels...habits can be broken and paper towels in our kitchen were a habit to use when draining bacon, sausage, ground beef etc. So now I save the grease (to be stored) until the city has recycle day in the spring. The city uses grease to make fuel as they do with wood. When the branched fall and they do fall it the wood is put on the street the city will pick it up, turn the wood into fuel.

I do not know the technology but the police cars run on ethanol as do all the city's vehicles. By not using paper towels it saves a little bit of water from being wasted, it saves a little bit of waste from the land fill, it saves a little bit of money...look up the story of the man throwing the star fish back in the ocean. It may not matter to the ones he can not throw back, but it matters to the ones he can throw back. Every little bit helps.
