Cloth vs Paper? On line, a writer was complaining about the terrible thinness of napkin-plys. He wondered if there was a suggester who could recommend a thicker-ply brand. I emailed back the following: 'Please, save trees and, Since you obviously are very cognizant, concerning napkins, Use good-old cloth napkins, where thickness cannot be rivalled, Having feel and quality which are superb. (Just throw them occasionally in with your regular wash.) We are a throwaway society and by which, such actions Could result in a small, but important ripple effect. Do consider other things in your life-use which could also be modified. If we do not consider these actions now, Our children and grandchildren will certainly pay.'
