The 4 Minute Ted Talk That Will Change Your Life

I stumbled across this life-changing Ted Talk one day, and have thought about it every single day since...legit. It's weird how sometimes the most random things stick in your brain, but this sure did! I used to be one of those people who took 2 or 3 pieces to dry my hands (forgive my past), but now I've changed! This short video teaches you an incredible new way to dry your hands using so much less paper towel. Every time I dry my hands at work or any public bathroom, I think of this guy (Thanks, Joe.)

A few fun facts:

In the USA alone, 13 billion pounds of paper towel are used each year.

Paper towels often are 30-40% of waste (by volume) from offices

Paper towels are not recyclable after single-use

A single roll of reusable towel can replace 30,000 paper towels


So maybe you'll think of Joe Smith and his genius way to use less paper towel like me every day, or maybe you'll literally never think of this again.. Hopefully it's the former. :)
