Use Your Pants!
After washing your hands in a public restroom, you have a choice; you can use a paper towel (which kills trees) or you can use a hand dryer (which uses electricity). In order to live more sustainably, we prefer a third option: Use your pants to dry your hands!
The idea is so simple and can save so many resources that we decided to make stickers to put in restrooms. And we put up a web site to spread the word. We also decided to add other ideas to the website, to help those who want to have a more positive effect on our planet.
If you have any ideas to contribute, send them our way, and we'll share them with the world.
