A product used in everyday life in the kitchen is a towel. Many households all over the world continue to resort to using paper towels. However, paper towels cannot be recycled. Paper towels are a product that can be made from recycled paper, however, paper towels are considered to be 'contaminated waste' and therefore they all have to be sent to the landfill. The decomposing of these paper towels in the landfill contribute to global warming. "Decomposing paper hand towels contribute to global warming. In the USA alone, 13 billion pounds (6,500,000 TONS) of paper towels are sent to landfills each year. The decay of paper products and landfills in general produce methane gas which is 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide, therefore a real threat to global warming. They are also often put in plastic bags, creating further downstream problems in the recycling process" (Intellígent). By substituting 100% organic cotton dish towels for paper towels, we can minimize our contribution to waste, global warming, and problems in recycling. 100% organic cotton dish towels can be purchased for less than $15 per package of towels (including 4 towels). 100% organic cotton dish towels are affordable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
