(NAPSA)—Taking a_ step toward a greener life may be easier than you imagine. Small changes in your daily life—at home and at work—can make a big difference when it comes to protecting the environment. Most of us want to do our part for a better planet, but with busy, overscheduled lives, often find the very idea overwhelming. However, taking the first step to a greenerlife need not be difficult. Little things, like replacing your regular brand of household paper products for a brand made from recycled paper, can make a big difference. Here’s an encouraging fact: If every household in the U.S. used one roll of paper towels or bath tis- sue made from 100 percent recycled paper, it could save 1 million trees. Making these simple yet meaningful changes are good examples to set for your children and provide a teaching momentat home. It won't require you to change your shopping habits, either, because a mainstream green brand, such as Marcal’s new Small Steps™ line of paper goods, is already on shelves at grocers. Going green doesn’t mean sacrificing quality, either. That’s a myth. Paper towels and tissue made from recycled paperstill have the strength and absorbency you need to get the job done, from cleaning countertops to wiping noses.
