Go to Electric, energy-efficient, cost saving hand-dryers, eliminate PAPER TOWEL.
Why is this important?
I attend Walled Lake Northern High School, in Commerce MI, in Oakland County. Currently my green group and I are doing our part by trying to reduce the amount of reusable materials that are not properly disposed of. The amount of paper towel used is wasteful and harmful. According to Americandryer.com, by replacing all paper towel dispensers with automatic hand dryers in a public school, there will be an increased 95% cost savings vs. paper towels and 80 – 90% less energy used depending on the hand dryer. The hand dryer operating costs are$1,232 to an outrageous $115,500 in total paper towel costs.
