A recent article: "Sustainable Hand Drying and Life-Cycle Assessment" did a unique LCA - they compared paper towel drying to blow-drying your hands.

Submitted by gssadmin

Here’s the result of an exercise that I participated in a few days ago, during a Mastermind session that I take part in weekly. If you want to know what a Mastermind group is, check out Napoleon Hill’s classic book, Think and Grow Rich. Check out mine at http://MastermindMindset.com

The question that we were asked to answer
