The argument in favor of paper towels includes the fact that many brands are now made from recycled paper waste , which is good for the environment.

Do they recycle? Do they use recycled products? Buy in bulk. Buy in bulk as many items as you can. This saves on packaging as well as transportation because larger amounts can be shipped in one load. Recycle, recycle, recycle. Also, be sure to buy recycled products like toilet paper.
