I just wish people would know how to use paper towels so that they don't end up wasting huge piles of them for nothing. 1 sheet is enough. You don't need 5. Do it like this:
The end. If you do this, your hands will not be wet. You will not need a second paper towel.
You missed something. You gotta fold the paper in half. The capillary action will trap more water in between the folded halves than it could unfolded.
The Shake & Fold method. There was a Ted Talk!
I mean if you need two or three, that's still way better than grabbing 20.
Yea, wouldn't want to use 2 sheets. Not like that stuff grows on trees.
Funny joke. But yeah, the creation, distribution, and disposal are not free - even if they are created from trees. Using two sheets isn't a big deal, but why use double what you need?
Anyway, I'm not trying to say we need to be super-frugal with our paper towels. I'm really talking about people who just keep grabbing more and more of them until their hands are dry. I'm sure we've all seen bins overflowing with barely-used paper towels. We don't need that.
