Using paper towels
As environmental issues have become a bigger part of societal conversations in recent years, you might think consumption of paper goods like paper towels may have gone down. In reality, people have been using more paper towels, and are projected to continue to use even higher volumes of the stuff. Everyone likes the feeling of a fresh, clean paper towel, and the satisfying act of cleaning up a mess before tossing out that little wet wad.
