Reusable cloths made from natural fibres are a great way to eliminate sponges, paper towels, makeup wipes, and cotton facial rounds. Knitting your own is an easy beginner project that can help you learn a new skill and reduce waste at the same time. Already a knitter? You'll have a stack in no time with this simple pattern.

yes, we still use toilet paper!

yes, we still use toilet paper!

Here's a bulk purchase you may not have considered...toilet paper. While I would love to get the whole family on board with using family cloth in addition our bidet attachment, they just aren't there yet. We have eliminated paper towels, but toilet paper is a bridge too far...for now.

A sustainable lifestyle with kids is not only possible, but critically important for our future and theirs. I hope that by sharing what works for our family, you are inspired to make changes in your daily life too!
