Yesterday me and two of my friends went for a walk and ended up going for dinner in Burger King which is in the neighborhood of the school. I went in the bathroom to clean my hands and i noticed an interesting sign.
Instead of paper they had those air making machines where you can dry your hands. On it there was a small sticker saying that when using those machines, you save thousands of trees from being cut down for the production of paper.I never thought of this but whoever sticked this little note was right. electricity is easy to find and produce. Trees though take many years to become fully grown up and be cut down. That is also the reason why forests cannot cope with the fast need of paper.
I don't think that the owner of the shop put this machine to be more environmentally friendly though, but whatever the reason the result is better than using paper to dry our hands.

I hate those machines they take forever to dry your hands! But I guess since it is good for the environment or whatever I can learn to deal with it.
Yea they do take a long time to dry your hands. But think of how much paper towel people use to dry your hands. Many times its like 4 sheets, you use them for 2 seconds, and its just water.
