AND YET, JUST IN TIME FOR THE PANDEMIC THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE REPLACED OUR PAPER TOWELS WITH THOSE POOP-FAN HAND DRYERS: Paper towels beat air dryers against viruses, small study finds. “Good hand-washing practice should be followed by proper hand-drying. Paper towels can help reduce the spread of microbes and should be a preferred method of hand-drying, especially at a time when good hand hygiene is the most effective measure to prevent COVID-19.”

The move was pushed by our Office of Sustainability, but I don’t see how this is sustainable in a post-Pandemic world.
