Start simple, Use cloth napkins

I was setting the table for our Sunday ritual. This consists of my husband cooking eggs and toast. Sometimes we have sausage and/or hash browns too. I pulled out my cloth napkins. Mike usually uses a dish towel, I guess it's more manly than my cloth napkins, but at any rate, it's less paper napkins getting thrown away. This is something that someone starting out could do very easily. You can always buy them at the store. Even the Dollar store has them. Or if you are graced with any kind of sewing ability, you could make your own. Think of all the crazy fabrics out there and how much your kids might like a napkin of their favorite cartoon character.
