Question

Use the passage to answer the question.

Jamie: People should stop using paper napkins and use cloth ones instead. It’s much better for the environment to use cloth than paper, because cloth napkins can be reused, and paper ones just get thrown away.
Addie: But cloth napkins have to be washed often. Running the washer and dryer uses up a lot of energy. So maybe they’re not as environmentally friendly as we’d like to think.
Jamie: It’s true that cleaning cloth napkins uses energy. But you can wash them in cold water instead of hot and hang them up to dry. That way, washing and drying them doesn’t use as much energy. The most important thing is that they’re not going straight to the landfill, like paper napkins.
