Making Green Miles

What we have done, my wife and I, is decided not to purchase anymore paper towels or paper plates. We use cloth napkins and real plates at home, where as before we would use paper. Even though we both work and have hectic schedules, we have decided to go back to basics and forget the paper. We also purchased a 52 gallon barrel and all our bottles and plastics go into it - because the small green ones can't hold all of our recycling.
