Svaing energy and the environment.?

Question

The question i have is whether after washing my hands in a public toilet, should i use the electric hand dryer? Or the paper towels provided? Which of these is more environmentally friendly?

Answer 1

If it is an option I leave them to dry naturally, which is the most environmentally friendly.



Towels leave waste around the place.

Dryers blow germs around the place.

Of the two I prefer the towels.

Answer 2

As much as I know, the difference is very little to dry youor hand with the blow-dryer, or use energy to produce paper.
