What do you get when you cross elegant table linens with regular kitchen paper towels?  MYdrap, a convenient way to dress up your table with individual cocktail napkins, lunch or dinner napkins and placemats that come right off the roll, perforated for easy dispensing.  But don't throw them away just yet -- each piece is washable and reusable up to six times!

Made from 100% cotton fibers, this recyclable, biodegradable and reusable product is the sustainable bees knees for dinner table presto-change-o.  And, they've been making this quality product for nearly a hundred years in different forms.

The Eco-Friendly Style of Mad Men

It may seem jarring to see the term “eco-friendly” in the same sentence as “Mad Men,” a television show that depicts the period of shameless wastefulness of the early 1960s. Gas guzzling cars, polyester and littering have all been featured on this show, but don’t worry, I’m not as good as Don Draper and am not about to convince you that this era was anything but decadent and destructive. What I do want to discuss is the amazing style featured on the show and how you can easily bring that into your home in a green and eco-friendly manner.
