Hey, MTs,

What do you do to make your practice more environmentally friendly?

Good question, Darren. I am about to open a new practice and have been considering ideas to keep my space more environmentally friendly. I hope a few therapists will reply!

I would like to know what other therapists have done to cut down on paper towel waste - I use a hand towel to dry my hands pre and post session, but my clients use paper towels in the bathroom. As of now, I'm not going to install an air hand dryer for clients because they end up being so loud. The Dyson model that you can find in new Starbucks (and in some other stores) does a great job of drying, but is amazing loud and my treatment spaces are too close to the bathroom. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
