An Eco-Friendly Paper Towel Alternative

The versatile Skoy cloth is a great paper alternative

Americans use more than 90 million tons of paper annually – over 700 pounds of paper per person!

The EPA says out of the 250 million tons of trash Americans generate each year, thirty-four percent – 85 million tons – is paper. According to an Arizona State University report, if U.S households used 3 less rolls of paper towels per year, we’d save 120,000 tons of waste and $4.1 million in landfill dumping fees.
