Many restrooms these days provide paper towels for you to dry your hands.

But just one sheet is usually not enough to completely dry wet hands, and most people end up using two.

* just one sheet : λ¨ ν μ₯

I often think about the vast number of trees that have to be cut down to produce these towels, and it feels wasteful.

First, after washing my hands, I shake them several times over the sink to remove excess water.

Then, I fold a paper towel in half before I use it.

This way, one sheet is usually more than enough.

An added benefit of this method is that it's a quick workout for your arms.

Another method is simply wiping my hands dry on my pants, which is also a time-saver.

In this way, I want to do my part to preserve the environment for future generations.
