Create Your Own Action

Take my own towel

My goal is to reduce energy consumption and reduce waste by using my own hand towel in the restrooms at work. I normally use the electric hand dryer and occasionally use a disposable paper towel, but I will take my own reusable cloth towel to dry my hands.

    I am now consistently remembering to take my towel to the restroom to avoid paper towels and hand dryers. I carry it over my shoulder and hope that others might see the towel and start bringing their own. I've also told a couple people what I'm doing with it; they are supportive!

    It took me about a week of wiping my hands on my clothes, but I finally remembered to start carrying my towel to the restroom today. Golly, habits are hard to break, even with good intentions!

    I brought my own towel to work today and I am ready to go. And I'll leave it here to use long after the EcoChallenge is complete!
