People Towels – Everyone should make the switch

Published by VeganCauldron on June 15th, 2011

I was introduced to People Towels via our wonderful friend Amanda. The idea might be simple but it’s definitely something that everyone should consider. Yes at first you might think the cost is a bit steep for a towel, but when you consider the practicality they offer, they’re well worth the price.

I could try to explain exactly what they are but their website tells it best!:

What are PeopleTowels?

PeopleTowels are the newest concept in sustainability, and the latest in eco-chic fashion. An on-the-go, sustainable alternative to paper towels in public facilities, these reusable personal hand towels are made of a patent-pending fabric that’s 100% certified organic Fair Trade cotton.  The light-weight fabric is absorbent, yet dries quickly.PeopleTowels are printed with eco-friendly dyes, and come in a variety of designs to appeal to different tastes and styles.  Convenient hangtags even allow you to clip or loop your PeopleTowelsl to your backpack, belt buckle or purse. PeopleTowels are machine washable and will last for years. The towels will soften and fade slightly after repeated washings.  You may see slight variations in the towels.

We started out with the 5 day pack and it’s perfect. I use one every day, throw it in the wash and have another ready for the next. No more fighting with the paper towel dispensers or half dead blow dryers.
Please watch their video to get even more of an idea of who they are! I know visuals and media are the easiest way to grab my attention so here you go:

It’s almost hard to decipher which ones are truly so or if they’re just trying to cash in on the new eco craze. The other question in my mind is how many of these “eco” companies truly live up to their claims? Is everything about them eco friendly, or only a portion of their products/corporate culture?

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Whether or not the mythical garbage island really does exist or not really isn’t the point. What happens to garbage once we dump it? One of the biggest misconceptions we as a society have is that as long as we recycle or use our green bin we don’t have to worry about anything because it all gets reused. The recycling companies will pick and choose what they can reuse easily and the rest end up in landfills.

To drive, or not to drive…

Owning a car brings up various emotions in different people. Some people are obsessive about their vehicles, others see it as a means of getting from point A to point B and others see no need for one. It really all depends on where you live and what kind of lifestyle you have. Can one truly be eco conscious while they own a car?
