(April's Topic) "Shake it, Shake it!"
by Rock Lee \| 28-04-2018 16:46 0
Shake it, Shake it! Hello my friends! Today, I?m going to tell you about my article for April?s topic ?Saving Trees and Reducing use of papers?. When you guys go to the loo and wash your hands, how many paper towels do you use? For me, I use only 1 because lots of environmentalist are recommending to use only 1 towel for reducing paper and I agree to that. But most of my friends or people around me use 2 or more and if I tell them to use only 1 they always complain that their hands aren?t dried after using 1. So I always had this concern until I saw an article online on an famous South-Korean news media. The team of reporters who wrote this article did a survey with two questions that are ?How many paper towels/tissues do you use?? and ?Why do you use that much??. About 60% of the people said that they use 2 and they do that as the same reason my friends were telling me. Then, shouldn?t we find a solution? The team tried an experiment how many towels they have to use when they don?t shake their hand and when they do. When they didn?t, they had to use 2 and even more. After that, they washed their hands one more time and surprisingly, they didn?t even need to use 1 but half a towel. To reduce paper and save trees, we should ?Shake it, shake it? to our hands and use only 1 paper towels! Let?s all save the Earth together!

Hello Rock, I see a lot of people in public toilet using paper tissue and throwing them away without fully using it.
I simply thought that it is due to thoughtless use, but I never thought it is also important for ourselves to shake our hands and get rid of water before we use paper tissue.
Reducing the number of used paper tissue along with changing our habits will certainly devote to the total decrease of paper use!

Hello Rock Lee!
This report gives us good insight about the use of paper in places that we easily forget. When we say paper, we usually think about those used in books or printed products. However as the report says the tissues that we use are also on of the paper based product. Let's shake our hands before using towels!
Thanks for the report :)
