You wave your hand in front of the little magic "eye" and the machine spits out a nice size section of towel for you to dry your hands with. Cute little contraption.
I noticed that a lot of the women at work use two and sometimes even three towels to dry their hands....so I did a little experiment.Do you know that if you stand at the sink for just FIVE extra seconds after you rinse your hands and shake off some of the excess water, you can easily dry your hands with ONE towel?
Do you know that if you stand at the sink for just TEN extra seconds after you rinse your hands and shake off some of the excess water, you can easily dry your hands with ONE towel and 25% to 33% of the towel will still be DRY?
Really! I do it all the time, and who doesn't have an extra five to ten seconds to save some trees for future generations?
Just be sure to stand back a few inches from the sink as you shake the water off your hands or you end up looking like you took a little shower with your clothes on.

I am a terrible paper towel waster :( Since I handle money all day...and touch dirty boxes, take out garbage, handle food (even though I wear gloves I still have to wash my hands before and after the gloves)...I just noticed the other day how many I use! So, I decided to keep one dish towel with me all day for drying my hands. I am such a germ-0-phobe!
Wise words, we all waste a lot of things because we are always in such a hurry, I will remember this the next time I wash my hands in a public place.
Love Jill
Same goes for tissues. People grab a handful when one will do the job. I prefer to air-dry my hands anyway, so no paper towels for me.
I was really surprised and disappointed when we got these recently. I would have thought the air ones would have been so much more "green". :(
I could use one of those in my kitchen..My husband is so good at wasting Paper Towels...Love you tip about standing there an extra five or ten seconds and shaking the excess water off there by safe a poor tree...
I did it! I used one dish towel today! I did use one paper towel...I was hungry and forgot for a minute.
Angela you are too funny! If the people at work didn't already think I had a few screws loose, I would bring my own little towel to dry my hands!
Now I am working on my post-it note addiction......that's another big waste of paper....but I love them so much!!!
