apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Guest towels are posh? Something's not right when the standard for hospitality is a restaurant.

Didn't most of us grow up with little useless guest towels which we swore we'd never have?

$20 for two? How much energy did it take to print those letters out? And made in India!? How much energy did it take to transport those towels to the West, and how much are those Indians getting paid? It's not a paper towel, just another BS product that capitalizes on your guilt for wasting and your need to waste.

not to mention the smug, holier-than-thou need to rub it in people's faces that you're so much better for using cloth instead of paper. I guess I don't see the "humor".

costco sells a 60-pack of small white cloth towels for about $15. you can use them instead of paper towels, the pack should last you at least 6 months, then wash the bunch and use them again.

This is why people get tired of green. Most people know this is bullshit from the get-go and unfortunately some of those are likely to just lump it all together and act in spite.

sounds like you'd be better off getting someone you know to screen print them for you.

$20 for two. eek.

The idea is... ok... and by the idea I mean "don't use paper towels unless really, really, really necessary"
but a true green option would be, turn old sheets you don't want or old dress shirts into napkins for people to use.
Re-use, but do not follow the propaganda of the companies looking to make money out of "green" tendencies.
