Join me every week for Win-It Wednesday. I’ll be posting several 24-hour giveaways throughout the day to give you plenty of chances to win!
Maybe you’re not ready to go full on green and use cloth for napkins, paper towels, or *gasp* even TP, but Marcal has a decent compromise with their Small Steps line of products. Marcal Small Steps are produced from recycled paper so they’re gentle on the environment while still being easy on the wallet.
We’ve been giving many of the Marcal Small Steps products a test drive around our house, and while they may be slightly less soft than their traditional counterparts, I’d say the environmental impact outweighs any slight difference in quality. If you want to give Marcal a try for yourself, there was a FREE Marcal Paper Products coupon in the 1/31 Smartsource insert!
Marcal Paper is dedicated to providing paper products to consumers like you that you can feel good about purchasing. As an “Earth-Friendly Paper Goods Company,” they believe products should work well, be good for the environment and be affordable. All of their products are made from recycled paper.
Four Deal Seeking Mom readers will win a Marcal Paper Products Package including:
- Dinner Napkins
- Napkin Drawstring Bag (180 ct.)
- Upright Facial Tissues (80 ct.)
- Facial Tissues (144 ct.)
- Single Roll Giant Towel

I rip paper towels in half or quarters as napkins, instead of wasting the whole sheet. It lasts three times as long this way!
Maggie
I am trying to use more kitchen towels and less paper towels.

I rip a paper towel in half. When my son needs one to wipe his face, 1/2 of a paper towel is the perfect size. Later, he will use the other half.

One of the ways we cut down on paper waste is we recycle our homeschool papers by always printing on the both sides AND then by shredding the papers after we are done with them to use as packing materials for shipping things in the mail :)

We recycle everything we can. We also use marcal tissues because of the free coupons in the circulars.
Renee
I like to use the select a size paper towels and that way if I only need a small piece I can take a small piece without having to waste a full size sheet.
Chrysa
I try to use as many rags as possible and we also use cloth napkins.

I buy the select-a-size paper towels. That way if I only need a little bit I don’t end up wasting a huge sheet.
Allison
I use towels to wipe up spills instead of paper towels!
sheri

kate burne

Bobby
Awesome site

We use white washclothes instead of paper napkins. They work great for my 4yr old because I can wet them to wipe off hands & face after the meal, then if not too dirty I can completely rinse it out with hot water to use again. I cut up old white t-shirts to use as cleaning clothes instead of paper towels. And because the washclothes & t-shirts are white, I can bleach them to keep them clean. We do still use a few paper towels but have been able to greatly reduce the amount used. Haven’t tried the Marcal products yet so that would be nice to get.
Jenn
I use cloth napkins now but I still will occasionally use paper towels and there is no way I am giving up TP for anything else. *shudder*
Dawn
Use towels instead of paper to clean up messes. Reuse paper in the printer. And we recycle.
