25.01.08 Reducing Paper Towel Use 페이퍼 타월을 μ•„λΌλŠ” 방법

ν•˜ λŒ€ν‘œ 2025. 1. 9. 01:20

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 : 단 ν•œ μž₯

* end up using : κ²°κ΅­ ~을 μ‚¬μš©ν•˜κ²Œ λ˜λ‹€

​

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

* the vast number of : μ—„μ²­λ‚œ μ–‘μ˜

* feel wasteful : 아깝닀, 낭비라고 λŠκ»΄μ§€λ‹€

​

​I've always given a lot of thought to how I can save on paper towel usage.

​

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

* remove excess water : 남은 λ¬ΌκΈ°λ₯Ό μ œκ±°ν•˜λ‹€

​

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

* fold something in half : ~을 반으둜 μ ‘λ‹€

​

This way, one sheet is usually more than enough.

μ΄λ ‡κ²Œ ν•˜λ©΄ 보톡 ν•œ μž₯이면 μΆ©λΆ„ν•˜λ‹€.

​* more than enough : 맀우 μΆ©λΆ„ν•œ

​

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

* an added benefit of : ~의 좔가적인 μž₯점

* a quick workout : κ°„λ‹¨ν•œ μš΄λ™

​

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

​* wipe something dry on : ~을 -에 문질러 말리닀

* a time-saver : μ‹œκ°„μ„ μ ˆμ•½ν•΄ μ£ΌλŠ” 것

​

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