Climate Quick Tip: Toss the (Paper) Towels

About 3,000 tons of paper towels get tossed daily in the U.S. But inexpensive reusables are excellent for drying hands at the sink, sopping up spills, and wiping counters. Use them then throw them in the laundry to be used again when they’re clean.

Reduce your use of paper towels by buying reusables and laundering them. Bluedot’s founder loves this bamboo version.
