Cohousing-L Mailing List: Commonhouse bathroom towel query

[Ruth Hirsch (heidinys]

Hi,

Ok,  here is the situation for which we'd like your input:
We've realized that we are using paper towels at an amazing rate in  
our CommonHouse.  Some of us consider them a resource to be used  
seldom as possible, and would like to decrease the waste.
We think that lots of paper towels are inadvertently pulled off the  
roll in the bathroom--- if you give a pull, it unravels lots of p  
towels, and easy for younger folks to have this happen.

So we are wanting an alternative asap.
Please let us know what you use in your CH bathrooms!   HealthCare  
professionals here have nixed the idea of cloth towels.
Is there something to dispense rolls of towels one at a time?
a more commercial p towel dispenser?
An air drier would be great--- though a good one likely over our  
financial heads.

Hope to hear from you with details:  type/brand name/item number/  
approx cost/sources....

thank you

Ruth
