Kleenex Disposable Hand Towels: What The Heck?!
The other day I was reading a magazine and came across an advertisement for new Kleenex disposable hand towels. After I got over the initial disgust, I decided to check them out and see what Kleenex has to say about them. On their website, they state that “your hands are only as clean as the towel used to clean them.” “A clean, fresh towel every time.” Come on! If you’re really that scared of germs, you need more than disposable hand towels.
Here are the problems I have with disposable hand towels:
-They consume more resources
-They create more waste
-They teach people (and children) that disposable is better
-They are pointless
It just sickens me to think that a huge corporation like Kleenex would produce and market a product like this. With all the natural resources being consumed, the last thing we need is another disposable product, especially one that is pretty much useless and replaces something that has worked well for so many years.
Have you seen the ads for Kleenex hand towels? What’s your opinion?
