BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters use one less napkin per day, in a year we'll conserve the annual paper use of 58 Americans.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

Researchers at Cornell University have created a napkin that changes color when it detects biohazards such as E. coli.

How can you set a heavenly table?

The Bite

Use cloth napkins religiously. You'll save trees and add a touch of class to your tabletop - even if sinful foods like Cheez Whiz are what's on the menu.

 

The Benefits

 

Paper savings. Americans use an average of 2,200 paper napkins per person per year.

Elegance, that is, if you don't use your napkin to blow your nose (you heathen Biter, you).

Cash savings. It's actually cheaper to throw cloth napkins in the wash than to buy paper ones. Amen to that!

 

Personally Speaking

The Bite's newest team member, Jenifer Morgan, has a secret talent: She can fold cloth napkins into different animal shapes, à la origami. She's strangely available only for Quinceañeras and National Bird Day celebrations.
