Not sure the savings is hugely significant by not using paper napkins. Yes, but 3 napkins a day is 21 per week just for one person…..possibly another load of wash using energy, water and detergents.

Cloth napkins are preffered. From what little I have seen of America, I think American society takes a LOT for granted. For eg - a never ending supply of water and hence pools, washing m/c and dish washers are 'essential'. - a never ending supply of paper - toilet paper, paper rolls, this paper that paper. they have an infinite variety of kinds of specialiesd paper. I could go on but I dont mean to bash America. It's got its own good points. Its just that recycling, reusing, isnt as much part of the culture as it is in India. I hope more people realise like you did, that its more economical and eco-friendly to cut down on using disposable stuff.
