Using hand dryers in public washrooms instead of paper towels

Many public washrooms in countries all over the world have hand drying machines for people to use after washing their hands to dry on as the one pictured below:

People using the public washrooms usually have the option of drying their hands by using a piece of paper towel and disposing it in the trash bin or using a hand drying machine. By using a hand drying machine, you don't use a tissue paper and by doing that you don't produce waste.

So the next time you're in a washroom, use a hand dryer if there is one instead of a paper towel and think of how you're helping the environment even in a small way.
