Jimmy Towels... Let's get behind this!


Have you guys heard of the Jimmy Towel?  This project has everything going for it...   It's a local effort to replace paper towels with a reusable microfiber cloth (made in the USA).  I was really impressed with their concept and the way they presented it.  Watching their kickstarter video, I feel like the point really hit home when they mentioned that "51,000 trees are cut down every day".  EVERY.  DAY.  That figure is unacceptable.  Where I grew up, it wasn't uncommon for people to carry a handkerchief, or tiny washcloth with them.  In many parts of the world, keeping a cloth in your pocket or purse is commonplace.  For some reason, that's not the case here- but Jimmy Towel is working to change that. They've got 14 days left to raise $3,264 of their $15,000 goal or their project will not be funded and they'll go back to square one.  Let's help!  I just supported them on kickstarter, and I hope that you will too.

  2. Hey... we dig the Jimmy Towel too! It's one of those "Duh" products where you're a little pissed at yourself for not thinking of it first. We got our hands on one and here's our review - http://wp.me/p106i6-47f
