Each week, the average UK citizen gets through enough paper in tissues to make eight cornflake packets. Carrying a real handkerchief instead of tissues cuts down on the use of paper and rubbish going to landfill.
Use a washable cotton handkerchief which is softer on your nose and kinder to the environment. And buy organic - you will be able to afford it from your tissues savings.
