How to use fewer Paper Towels

[SunnyD]

masturbate less?

I came here to say that. Pun intended.

 

[wirednuts]

Yeah..what.

Just wipe them on your pants. Win.

this is what i do if theres not paper towels around. wiping on pants is better then air drying.

Yeah, pretty sure I'll just keep using 8 towels per wash

Yeah, if we don't draw the line somewhere pretty soon we're going to be shown how to wipe our ass with one single ply square of toilet paper. D:

So, your fix is to go from using a renewable resource like trees to putting the burden on electricity which is generated from polluting non-renewable resources like oil, coal and natural gas.

Brilliant.

What hot air dryers do you use that are powered with oil coal and natural gas?

Since when is natural gas "polluting" anyway?


Oh I get it, the electricity that is used by the hot air dryer probably required oil or coal to produce, that is what you are trying to say. I suppose paper towels are created without using any energy source whatsoever, right? And the truck that ships those paper towels to the restroom doesn't pollute at all either? And It's impossible to produce electricity for the hot air dryer using clean methods, such as hydro or wind power, or nuclear fission?

I don't know all the details, feel free to do a complete cost analysis for producing paper and electricity and let me know how it breaks down. I could see some scenarios where it's cheaper make the paper and ship it to the restroom, but I'm not going to take your word for it without seeing you show your work.


Anyway, today I was reminded of another reason why I'd never shake my hands off before drying in a public restroom. Restrooms stink. Gotta get out asap, and my 3 towel method is clearly faster and superior to the 1 towel method in that regard.

You buy them in the same place you get the coal powered TVs and coffee pots.

Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide

Plants need CO2 to live, it's not pollution, it's a necessity.

Why wait a year for the TP conservation method?

You are all wrong.....

Step 1:
Pull off one square

Step 2:
Fold square 4 times to make it 1/4 its original size

Step 3:
Tear off corner piece and save little one for later (most important)

Step 4:
Open up square again exposing newly created hole

Step 5:
Slide pointing finger through hole

Step 6:
Wipe Butthole [no picture]


Step 7:
Wrap paper on finger and slide off paper cleaning off finger - best to use a twisting motion.

Step 8:
(final cleaning)
Use corner saved in step 3 to clean poop from around finger nail area

I have to admit, I'm addicted to paper towels. If we're out, I will actually drive to the store at 11pm to get another pack. I can't STAND them not being there to wipe up counters/dry things.

Omg I'm dying laughing
