Addiction of the tree murdering kind.

I have a confession to make. I eluded to it on my environmental list, I am addicted to paper towels. They are great. They are clean, easily available and disposable. All the qualities I look for when dealing with dirty jobs, especially in the kitchen. I am probably personally responsible for the death of thousands of trees. I feel really bad about that. My addiction to paper towels is probably one of my worst environmental sins. Sadly, there is no 12 step program to save me or the planet from my horrible indiscretion. So, I am on my own to cure my disease. My plan of action-

1. Switch to post consumed paper towels. I have done this. These paper towels are not quite like "the quicker picker upper" but they work fine. Let's face it- they are really a crutch, though.
2. Clean out a cabinet to make room for rags, dish towels and wash cloths. I own plenty, it just a matter of making them convenient in my kitchen.
3. Start a daily habit of taking dirty rags, dish towels, and wash cloths up to the laundry.

Easier said than done for me. I am seriously addicted. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I have to admit, of all the things, this is probably going to be one of the hardest for me!
