[Kylan's Blog] Green Handkercheifs

Since it's cold and flu season, there are a lot of people buying boxes and packs tissues. Runny noses are annoying and need to be wiped often. I'm surprised, though, in this age of An Inconvenient Truth and carbon footprints, that Kleenex and the related brands are doing so much business. There is a stigma against cloth tissues because they are seen as "gross," but I think they must be more environmentally friendly than tissues made from trees. They're reusable and can be made completely from sustainable resources. Here's my idea: enviro-conscious people can start walking around with green colored cloth handkerchiefs, blowing their noses in support of the environment. This could become a big hit, with celebrities joining the craze and so on. Just remember... I thought of if first.
