Paper towel conservation
"Always rip a paper towel in half before using."
--Matt Maldre, 2009
Much of paper towels go unused. After using a paper towel, unfold it and see how much was actually used. In my case it's often around one-third. I love the Select-a-Size towels. I like to rip the towel in half before using. And that doesn't mean you can toss out the other half if it doesn't get used. At work I have a food drawer that I stash unused napkins and half-towels.
