There was a time when everyone recognized it did not make sense to use something once and then throw it away. There was a time when things were made to last. Bring a little of these customs back to life with handkerchiefs!

Handkerchiefs save money and are fun to carry around! It is a great multipurpose tool to have with you. They help wipe things up, clean glasses, blow noses, dry off hands, wipe your sweat, and even brighten up an outfit.

Resourcefully, most handkerchiefs are machine washable. This means you can invest in a few and easily rotate them in and out after use. They are a great alternative to replace tissues around your home, which saves you money, trips to the store, lugging boxes around, and then collecting used ones to throw out.

It is hard to wrap your mind around it, but millions of trees are cut down around the world for paper pulp products like tissues. The roughly trillion tissues we use each year need to come from somewhere, and unfortunately, a lot of time the wood pulp used to create them comes from virgin forests. Plus, there is the energy to produce and the chemicals to bleach. It simply is not sustainable in the long run.
