Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Each year, 2.5 paper towels are thrown away. We use paper towels every day when drying our hands, cleaning up spills, and many of us use them as a napkin when eating in our rooms. Instead of using paper towels, let's pick an alternative to stop this excessive use. When getting ready to grab a paper towel, instead grab a hand towel to dry your hands off or to clean something you spill. This will help save some of the 51,000 trees that are used for paper towel goods each year.

  1. The whole paper towel thing is a good point. Try finding the recycled paper towels they are more expensive but they work 7th generation is a great company for stuff like this

  2. Not only are recycled paper towels good but one could always just use a towel. I know I always either air dry or wipe my hands on my towel after washing my hands.
