Green tip of the week

Instead of buying plastic and rubber sponges for cleaning, try Twist Scrub Sponges, a natural cellulose with plant-based scrubby. A package of three sponges costs $3.47 at HEB in College Station. The sponges are 100% plant-based with natural cellulose, hand sewn, plastic-free, dye-free and toxic adhesive-free. They feel so much better in your hand than the rubbery sponges and they seem to last longer. No more pieces of that blue sponge falling off!
