30 Day Zero Waste Challenge

Day 5

USE HANDKERCHIEFS INSTEAD OF TISSUES

 

Now it’s getting real personal! I just took out my garbage and so proud that this week, between my husband and I, we are sending only small bag to the landfill. But I am embarrassed to admit that about ⅓ of that are paper tissues. *Sigh*  

So for today, you fellow Zero-Waste travelers, we tackle one big component of our throw-away culture – single use paper tissues.

How about a nice-looking hanky instead?  Anyone having success with this already?

Look at all these great ideas to make this challenge stick:
