This reusable and organic hand towel by People Towels will change the way you look at hand towels. They're organic cotton towels that you can take anywhere with you and replace the use of hand paper towels when you go out to the mall or school or just any public bathroom. What a simple and creative idea that could save hundreds of trees if only a few people would use it. You can take with you on your purse, or gym bag, or laptop bag, or just leave it in your car. Imagine if the whole world used reusable towels? What if every city demanded shopping malls and public bathrooms to have reusable towels? In Europe that's just how they are. There's a long sheet of cloth towel, several people use it (but you pull a new clean piece when it's your turn) when it get's completely used, they take it off, wash it and it gets reused over and over again. Such a simple, cheap and environmentally friendly idea.
