Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

After going through a box of kleenex or two this week, I wondered how many trees I killed. I kow there are cloth handkerchiefs, but those seem only approbriate for more delicate tasks. One would use them to tab away tears or get rid of the tickle under the nose. To use one while sick just seems, well, sick. The gross factor and the unhygenic factor both make it a poor alternative to the albeit wastefull throwaway. So until something better has been found, I am afraid that each cold and flu season I will be forced to use without reducing, reusing, or recycleing. I am sorry Nature.
