PeopleTowels, producers of reusable personal hand towels, the eco-friendly, on-the-go alternative to paper towels and electric air dryers, is supporting The Nature Conservancy to refocus Cyber Monday, November 29, to 'Green Gift Monday.' The goal is to encourage online consumers, who spend nearly $890m on Cyber Monday, to give responsibly manufactured gifts from companies that donate to and support environmental organizations. A member of 1% for the Planet, PeopleTowels will be offering free shipping for all orders on www.peopletowels.com from November 29 - December 5. PeopleTowels promotes the sustainable eco-habit, B.Y.O.Towel, to curb wasteful paper towel usage in public facilities and are made from 100% organic Fair Trade cotton in patent-pending fabric that is absorbent, yet quick-dry.

"Green options get lost in the holiday shopping season. Our goal is to bring attention to some meaningful and responsible gifting ideas on Cyber Monday," said Amy Ganderson, Associate Director of Digital Marketing for The Nature Conservancy. "To support The Nature Conservancy initiative we are offering weekly holiday deals throughout December, starting on Nov 29," said Linda Lannon, co-founder of PeopleTowels.

The average person uses 3,000+ paper towels outside the home each year, equivalent to approximately 8 large garbage bags of single use paper towels per person. Each person who switches to PeopleTowels can save 1/4 of a tree, conserve 250 gallons of water, cut CO2 emissions by 34 lbs. and reduce landfill waste by 23 lbs. in one year.
