why do we still use paper towels for cleaning up spills when we're all about reducing waste?

use paper towels to mop up all your tears when you realize we'll never stop using them 🙃

same reason we still use credit cards and not just a handful of cash, habits die hard and also laziness

who's gonna use a reusable towel that's been soaking up last night's vodka spill to wipe down the kitchen counter this morning?

because wiping up with our bare hands is too messy, duh

What's the alternative in most non-messy, non-greasy homes?

ikr and paper towels are such a waste. we need to find better reusable options, even if they're a

idk man, probably because life is messy and so are we, one fallen glass of wine at a time

i'm with you on this one. haven't bought paper towels in months, been using reusable cloths.

you think paper towels are the problem, but have you seen the mess people make in one second? i'm pretty sure a single paper towel is just trying to survive out there.

bruh, paper towels are way more convenient than that eco crap. you wanna spend 30 mins wiping up a mess with a stupid cloth? foh with that noise

cause you can't use the same washcloth to wipe up cat puke and then wipe down the counter, karen.

omg yessss and can we also talk about how annoying it is that teh bathroom at my work still uses those stupid paper

paper towels are the true secret to rapid prototyping, obviously

paper towels are like the mullet of the cleaning world - business in the front, party in the back.

good one, now just imagine all the drama if we had to wipe up every spill with our hands

paper towels are way more convenient and effective than shitty rags. dont be a weirdo trying to lecture everyone about waste when we're all just

same people probably still use single-use plastic water bottles and think they're "saving the planet" by recycling.

What about reusable cleaning cloths or microfiber towels that actually work way better than paper towels in the long run?

paper towels arent the worst offender, get a little perspective people

idk maybe it's because paper towels are like the only thing that can contain the existential dread

are you kidding me, have you seen the state of most reusable cloths after a few uses, gross

what's the alternative here? cloth towels everywhere and what do you people even do in real life?

totally agree, but like, what's the alternative? cloth towels everywhere or a total fuss to wash and dry paper towels is not the most efficient route either

fr, paper towels are such a waste. but ppl are too lazy to switch to reusable cloths or sponges. gotta do better for the planet fr

But disposable towels are convenient and sanitary, they're not causing the bulk of our waste problems.

idk, maybe because adults dont have mommies to yell at them to grab a towel

same people who think switching to a reusable straw is gonna save the planet are also gonna waste 5

it's all about ease and convenience. nobody's gonna quickly grab a sponge when a paper towel is right there.

um seriously what's the alternative then? a towel that magically cleans itself up into a reusable

girl bye, have you ever tried to soak up a spilled drink with a reusable cloth? not cute

you really think a few extra loads of laundry is gonna offset the water it takes to make a paper

omg i know, right? and don't even get me started on the 'biodegradable' ones that are still contributing to

have you ever used those disposable towels from the grocery store to clean up a big spill?

why do we still use paper towels for cleaning up spills when we're all about reducing waste?

idk but i guess that's just a wipeout of an idea

um, what do you think we're supposed to use instead then?

tf you mean? paper towels are the only way to clean up a mess quick without making more of a damn

fr, paper towels are so wasteful. we should be using reusable rags or microfiber cloths instead. saves money and the planet in the long run.

haha, bcbai (because beer always involves) paper towels

uh, maybe because they're literally 100x more effective at cleaning up spills than those reusable

totally with you on this one, but idk about switching to reusable ones in the moment, like when you're stuck at home or traveling and don't

Are cloth towels really cleaner than paper towels, or are we just romanticizing sustainability?

paper towels are the only thing that can soak up the tears of my teammates after i carry so hard

tf do you want me to use, my bare hands? paper towels get the job done quick and easy.

like, paper towels are convenient and effective for cleaning up huge messes, we're not all going to switch to reusable cloths just yet, no

agree, it's time to switch to those reusable microfiber towels, or at least a more eco-friendly option, get on it

What about disposable cleaning cloths or rags, are those a viable eco-friendly alternative that's available in stores?

you really think paper towels are the biggest waste problem we've got going on?

What's the alternative that's so much better than paper towels that everyone seems to be raving about?

fr this is such a good point. we all wanna be more eco-friendly but still use so much disposable

Totally agree. Paper towels are so wasteful. I try to use reusable rags or old t-shirts instead whenever I can. It's better for the environment and saves money in the long run.

so you're saying vacuum-sealed cleaning wipes are sustainable now?

dry humor is a thing too

why do we still use paper towels? because they're the only thing that can soak up my tears after seeing that take 😂

fair point, but what's the alternative on-the-go? trips to the laundry mat are never a great look

some of us just like the convenience and effectiveness of paper towels, okay?

are you kidding me, paper towels are a game changer for cleaning up biohazards and some spills, "reducing waste" isn't worth the health risk

we use paper towels to clean up the tears of the trees that were cut down to make them

r you kidding me? paper towels are way more sanitary than reusing some rag thats been sitting in a bucket of dirty water.

I guess because our devotion to the environment only goes as far as not having to do an extra load of laundry

idk about that, sometimes you just need a good ol' fashioned paper towel to clean up a mess without wasting more time and effort on a reusable cloth.

meh, paper towels are just easier, you know? don't gotta worry about dropping a sponge or having to

idk, maybe cuz cloth towels just don't absorb all the tears i cry when i spill coffee on my shirt

Paper towels are actually the most hygienic and efficient way to clean up most spills, and the environmental impact of switching to alternatives like cloth towels just isn't as

Are you kidding me, have you ever tried to clean up a coffee spill with a reusable cloth on a deadline?

why do we still use single-use plastics when they're literally destroying the planet? paper towels are like the least of our problems.

are you kidding me? who uses paper towels for spills?

because we need something to dry our tears after using all the paper towels

when was the last time you saw a paper towel replacement that wasn't some $20 plus microfiber thing that's still not as

are you kidding me? paper towels are like 10 cents a roll and can absorb a whole gallon of water in 2 seconds.

good question. do paper towel companies need to be more transparent about their environmental impact?

lol yeah because a swiffer can't handle the magnitude of my coffee spills

like, who invented the paper towel and how do they sleep at night?

now we're using plastic cloths?

totally agree, it's so outdated. we should all be switching to reusable cloths and rags already

right? i just use a washable cloth or a few rags for cleaning up spills.

why the hell not? what's the big deal about using paper towels every now and then?

wtf? paper towels are the goat for spills. just use a reusable rag if you're so worried about waste.

do you have a better solution for cleaning up spills that's actually practical and convenient? or are you just talking out of your ass?

i know, right? paper towels are such a waste. we need to start using more reusable cleaning rags and microfiber cloths instead. it's an easy way to cut down on all that unnecessary waste.

lol what's next, are we gonna shame people for using toilet paper too?

why use paper towels? just lick it up. problem solved, no waste.

really? then why are you still posting about it instead of just switching to rags or something?

totally agree, no one needs a million paper towels to clean a spill.

are we gonna replace our toilet paper too?

I guess that's what they meant by "rolling" out sustainable changes one paper towel at a time.

because they're just so much easier to use when you're dealing with a giant mess on the floor

come on, have you actually looked into the alternatives? Reusable cloth rags are great, but paper towels are way more convenient for quick cleanups.

uhhh cause paper towels are way more convenient than washing a cloth every time?

omg yes i was just thinking about this the other day...

fr tho, why are we still using disposable paper towels when we got perfectly good reusable rags n

what's the alternative, using a dirty rag that just spreads the mess around?

the dawg in me says use the whole roll on that spill. clean up so good.

because it's not like AI is going to clean up my coffee spills

Preach! And let's be real, rags or cloth towels work just as well, if not better, and can be washed and reused a million times

because sworn on spilled dinner for 10 years and I still have paper towels for that badge of honor

like, what's the better alternative that's actually affordable and accessible to everyone, not just

girl, have you seen my kitchen after a toddler meltdown?

because cloth towels are messy too, but at least you can compost paper towels after you're done

true, i always feel guilty using paper towels. we should look into more sustainable cleaning options that don't end up in the landfill.
