If you have an electric hand dryer, the electricity used.
Paper towels you use the plant for the production of electricity. Not yours.
Thus, the paper towels will keep energy consumption to a minimum. However, the single-use articles, ultimately more expensive. You pay for convenience.
It is environmentally friendly cloth napkins that can be used again and again clean use. But if you power for the washing machine or dryer.
I use paper towels in the kitchen and cloth napkins in the toilets.
It is a debate that will probably continue as long as talking to someone. Paper towels come from trees that are renewable, but must fossil fuels (oil) and emissions of hydrocarbons and electricity for large crops and plants for the treatment. Electricity is produced from plants that the fossil fuels that are in the sense of fantasy, or wind and hydroelectric plants to burn green, while one will be built, environmentally friendly, but were constructed with the expenditure on fossil fuels and emissions. And do not sprout miles of cables, switchgear and transformer stations only from the earth. Statistics? You may be distorted, any desired direction.
It is the greenest of all, a dry cloth with you in a pocket with waterproof zipper, and use it for drying hands. A friend who's on the edge. When he comes home, put towels in the basket and put in a cool, dry up its sleeve.
Paper towels, because they are recyclable.
