Why because they dont agree with you? You know who are idiots – those who believe global warming exists and that using kleenex hand towels are going to destroy the earth. What are hand towels made if and how are they cleaned? Right cotton and water…

My exact response. I was so outraged when I saw the commercial! We WASH OUR HANDS before we use towels. If your too gross to do that as an adult/teenager/etc then even still it’s a stupid option. What’s the freaking POINT?!

[...] same company that is producing the Scott Tube Free Bath Tissue (Kimberly-Clark) also produces the Kleenex Disposable Hand Towels. While I think the tube free bath tissue is a step in the right direction, I don’t think [...]

My father has MRSA, an antibiotic resistant strain of staph. We use these towels in my parent’s home to avoid the spread of MRSA. This was after my brother used a hand towel that my father used, and now he has MRSA too.

Believe me, they are worthwhile. It is a matter of something more than GERMS, BUGS and BACTERIA. Especially because this nasty little thing cannot ever be cured by antibiotics.

I love it. I love disposable everything. When the sun burns out… we are all popsicles anyway. Everything I buy is disposable and convenient and I don’t mind paying extra for it.

OMG, I thought the SAME thing when I saw those commercials. What a terrible idea! The idiot in their marketing dept who thought it was a good idea to start selling a product like that right now with the economy so bad and people more conscious about the environment needs a smack in the head.

But it did get me thinking. I was SO offended by the Kleenex hand towels, but then I started thinking what’s REALLY the difference between those and paper towels? And I use paper towels. Eep.

I try to only use them for really unsanitary messes, i.e. cleaning the counters after making chicken or something. But yeah. It’s a bad habit that’s pretty wasteful and expensive.

I just saw this ad for the first time on TV about 5 minutes ago, and was so outraged I had to google other’s responses!

Proctor and Gamble (maker of Puff’s tissues) is launching a Green for the Future campaign, pubicly encouraging consumers to preserve our resources and use green products- Kleenex’s parent company (Kimberly-Clark) needs to hurry up and take the earth friendly hint instead of manufacturing wasteful products and encouraging people to buy something as ridiculous as ‘disposable paper towels,” for your own home!! Even gas stations, rest stops, and restaurants are going earth friendly by removing paper towel dispensers and installing energy efficient hand dryers! I’m young and trying to go as green as I can one step at a time, but as a newbie I still recognize the wastefulness of this product immediately! Boo on you, Kleenex
