Reduce your paper use and save the rainforests.

While we don't know the ins and outs of the [commercial paper market][], we do know the ins and outs of [saving paper everyday][]. Over [seventy-eight percent of the Earth's original old growth forests][] have already been logged or degraded just so you and I can have a paper napkin or a bank statement. See if you can just say no to any and all paper today. Use a cloth napkin, ask for the info to be emailed, or skip your receipt. If you absolutely have to use a little bit of paper, just try to use less tomorrow.

We found cheap napkin rings, and I painted each family member's name on one, along with a few for guests. It's fun to find cloth napkins at yard sales.
