Be Green with Snap-able Unpaper Towels - with Tutorial

According to Carbonrally.com:

• The United States consumes 30 percent of the world’s paper each year.
• Of the 741 pounds of paper used by the average American each year, close to 55 pounds is tissue paper (which includes paper towels, napkins, facial tissue, and toilet tissue).
• Even with recycling programs, a little more than one-third of the trash going into landfills is paper products. Paper towels are not recycled.

So stop thinking paper towels, and start thinking UNpaper towels! These are washable, reusable cloth towels. You can even add snaps to them so that they attach to each other and can be rolled up just like a regular roll of paper towel. Unpaper towels are also softer and more absorbent than the disposable version, not to mention so much prettier!
