People Towels
 
Here is an interesting idea. I'm not 100% for it, but I like the ideas behind it I guess. The idea is to carry a people towel instead of using paper towels to dry your hands during the day. They have a bunch of towels on their site, or you can have your own custom made towel.

I think most of us dry our hands at home with towels, but in public or at work how many paper towels do you use a day? I try to limit my use to one or none when I wash my hands. I fling the water off by shaking my hands a bit and usually will grab a single towel to finish up. If my hands are a little wet yet, I just let them air try.

When I heard the title, I thought of Soylent Green towels.

Haha, yeah I don't think I'd be comfortable with that type of product...

I thinks someone has read the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy one too many times.

Kinda the next step after carrying a handkerchief instead of single-use paper tissues. I'm also too lazy to take a paper towel and just shake/air dry;)

Now, how many people carry a fork or a cup with them?

I usually bring my lunch to work, and if I need any utensils I bring them as well. Every once in a while I have to use a plastic fork/spoon/knife when I forget to bring my own.

I just use my pants, or my handkerchief

What's the difference of people towel with small regular hand towels? I usually just bring a handkerchief.

Nothing really any difference, its just the idea of reducing paper usage.
