FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
‘Green Gift Monday’ is the new Cyber Monday
PeopleTowels Supports The Nature Conservancy to Encourage Green and Responsible Shopping for
the Holidays
Monterey, CA. (November 24, 2010) – 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.
