Americans discard 13 million tons of textiles yearly (EPA). Rescue your towel from landfills with these hacks:
♻️ Eco-Warrior Upgrades

→ DIY tug toys (braid strips + knot ends)
→ Cage liners for small animals
3. Garden Guardian:
→ Root zone mulch (holds moisture)
→ Frost blanket for seedlings
4. Home & Hustle Hacks
Emergency Mop: Clip to Swiffer® → spills vanish.
5. DIY Spa Kit: Cut washcloth-sized → microwaveable eye pillows (fill with rice/lavender).
6. Moving Day MVP: Wrap fragile dishes → cushion 2x better than bubble wrap.
7. Gym Buddy: Cut 16"x6" strips → no-slip yoga mat towel.
