Day 67: Get a reusable or semi-reusable paper towel

Prepare yourself for a mind-baffling fact: in the United States 13 billion pounds of paper towels are thrown away every year. Yikes. Here’s what you can do to stop the waste…

Paper towels are incredibly useful, but there’s absolutely no need to use single-use paper towels when you can get reusable ones now.
Reusable bamboo paper towels
You can also get ’semi-reusable’ bamboo paper towels that are biodegradable and washable. They’re just like normal paper towels but they can be washed and reused hundreds of times.
Eco egg re-usable bamboo paper towels
These ecoegg reusable paper towels can be re-used 1800 times, so you’ll reduce CO2e and you’ll save money.

To make one ton of paper towels, 17 trees are cut down and 20,000 gallons of water are consumed.  51,000 trees are cut down to meet the daily demand for single-use paper towels.

Imagine...

Imagine if 1 million people completed 100 Days to Save the World.

We would change the world.

It's possible.

Imagine how the world could be.

It's up to us to change it. Not someone else.
