Sustainability: business, life, environment

First came the reusable water bottle and now comes PeopleTowels.  What are PeopleTowels?  They are 100% organic cotton, reusable personal hand towels that make living a sustainable lifestyle as easy as drying your hands.
 
Sustainable businesses and individuals alike are looking for ways to cut costs as well as extend eco awareness into the workplace and personal lives.  Consider the cost and environmental impact of paper.  It is one thing that we touch every day.    Paper and paperboard products constitute the largest portion of our waste stream.  The ability to reduce paper consumption at work and at home is an opportunity to reduce the waste flowing into landfills, reduce costs and help the environment at the same time.
 
PeopleTowels estimates that if one person uses PeopleTowels instead of paper towels in public restrooms for one year, they will save a ¼ tree, reduce landfill waste by 23 pounds, and conserve 250 gallons of water.
  
But they're not just for individuals!  Businesses can join the eco action as part of a corporate sustainability plan to extend eco awareness and engage employees.  Do the eco math: an estimate of 5000 employees = Annual savings of $215,000 + 1250 trees + a reduction of 115,000 lbs of landfill waste and conservation of 1,250,000 gal water.   PeopleTowels estimates that each person uses 2,400 paper towels at work alone, if they are making approximately 5 trips to a public restroom per day each week. That’s equivalent to a case of C Fold paper towels each year, with a case costing an average of $43. This doesn’t include either the cost savings from waste disposal on the backend.
