Assignment task:
I'm always using paper towels anytime I wash my hands, if there's a spill even blowing my nose sometimes just to not go to the washroom because I'm busy doing something else I use a paper towel. If I'm in the kitchen doing dishes and I end up drying my hands off. I keep a roll in my car even for emergencies. 'I know it's awful, but they come in handy. This is one of the greatest negative impacts on the environment especially when you see people just throw them out of the window when they're coming from eating fast food, there's always paper towels flying around when you're driving. As far as the community you may see paper towels thrown in people yards and you see them outside trying to keep their yard clean due to paper towels and other trash that may be blowing in their yard. It's a lot when it ends up in the landfills because again it's blowing around and when you see the garbage trucks with paper flying out of that. I could save a lot of money if I just didn't buy paper towels for one and it would help the community because it would be a little less flying around the areas, not from me but just in general. It's actually just a lot of waste especially with parties that you have there are plenty of paper towels.
Buying paper towels would save fees for landfill waste, deforestation and therefore global warming. We could have a little more carbon dioxide to breathe in. It leads to habitat loss, wildlife endangerment, rising global temperatures, and higher greenhouse gas emissions.
