Tag(s): Greening the Office
While maybe not the great debate that is paper vs plastic, paper towels vs electric hand dryers is one that I have pondered on occasion. Slate has an article tackling the subject. According to said article: “The bottom line is that hand dryers will be the greener choice in about 95 percent of circumstances.”
