Drying hands with a hand blow dryer Vs using the paper towels?

10 October 2008

Answer From Danin Kahn from Todae Store

This is an interesting one as everyone has a differing opinion on it. From my research, using a hand blower is softer on the environment. 

Although it does use electricity, it is only for a short burst. Paper towels still require virgin materials to produce and consume energy in their production, transportation and removal.

Paper towels are also often used carelessly and excessively.
