"We are a hippy commune, and don't use paper towels"

Comments from the peanut gallery of my family are always my favorite, most of the time I am laughing along with them, but as long as I just keep plugging along I will win them over.

The biggest hint that I have found for living the zero waste lifestyle is starting small. Find something you want to change, and work on that one thing. Don't get frustrated or overwhelmed with changing everything at once.

This is true confession time. Here I am writing this blog, and one thing that I am having a terrible time fazing out of our home is paper towels. I have made the roll of paper towels out of washcloths and everything, but I have been loosing that battle. I finally realized that the reason that haven't been successful at it was because I keep giving into buying them. Oh...really? I think that was as much for my benefit as it was for the peanut gallery. So here I am in public, on the Internet, committing to go cold turkey with the paper towels.

There will be updates, and I'm sure comments from the peanut gallery coming soon.
