Educational Paper Towel Holder

by Noel on December 27th, 2007

I really love this cool paper towel dispenser! Really now. Aren’t you happy somebody thought of creating a dispenser such as this one?Honestly, what makes this dispenser different from all other paper towel dispensers is the fact that this one comes with a really striking message. There are other paper towel dispensers which come with advertisements of some sort but this paper towel dispenser is different - it comes with an advocacy that is being clearly projected as we pull tissue after tissue.As we use up more pieces of paper towels, the display shows the greenness of South America going down with each pull. In the process, it tells us that the more paper we use, the more trees we cut down. Well, unless we recycle paper more. But as long as we use up more paper (or paper towels for that matter) and we do not recycle paper at all, then we may just find ourselves looking at a blank paper towel dispenser for “South America” has already used up its supply of trees from which paper comes from.
