I gave up on paper towels years ago because I didn't like the waste and for us, it was an easy switch, but I know it's not for everyone.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769519467392773033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-43637062950957366652011-03-27T14:40:06.477-04:002011-03-27T14:40:06.477-04:00@Carol
Thank you, Carol, for your encouragement a...@<a href="#c5848148685505379197" rel="nofollow">Carol</a><br /><br />Thank you, Carol, for your encouragement and support. Although I have some very good habits as part of my green living mission, using paper towels is one of my vices. I suppose I can be somewhat of a germaphobe, and for some reason, I think reaching for the paper towel will prevent germs. This is precisely why I offered myself up for The Paper Towel Challenge. I am improving. :) I caught myself several times this week reaching for the paper towels, and then retracting to use a rag. It is a matter of re-training, I think. I hope someday we will completely stop purchasing paper towels. I hope the post will demonstrate that we are not all perfect and that we can challenge ourselves in the smallest ways to start new habits that affect the planet in a positive way.The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-58481486855053791972011-03-27T12:40:16.322-04:002011-03-27T12:40:16.322-04:00Dear Michelle, I know it would be hard with your k...Dear Michelle, I know it would be hard with your kitties but why not try just not buying paper towels. I did that years ago and really it is easy. I just use cloth towels that I wash. Your post and challenge is a great inspiration for others! If you buy recycled non bleached paper towels- that I am sure you do . . . just cutting back as you are is already a great contribution.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-87068127417250291272011-03-27T09:57:40.541-04:002011-03-27T09:57:40.541-04:00@Ginger

We have taken her to the vet, tried natural remedies, and improved her diet. And athough she has improved from when the secretions were black and crusty, she still has tearing. All we can do is keep trying...other than that she is a very happy and healthy Siamese cat!The Sage Butterflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06252906325012065829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-34254546226298714232011-03-26T13:54:59.584-04:002011-03-26T13:54:59.584-04:00Poor cat, what is wrong with her eyes?Poor cat, what is wrong with her eyes?Diana Studerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12286066768376135880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-721055461531407267.post-6530371825252151192011-03-25T21:22:18.066-04:002011-03-25T21:22:18.066-04:00@. . .
