Don't those blowers spread way more germs than just using a paper towel?

And you can open the door with a paper towel too. Also, paper is one of our most renewable resources, and most recyclable.

and still et's energy intense to recycle and a lot of paper (over 60%) is new paper from old woods in th easc of Europe.

I'm in the States so I'm not familiar with situation over there. Here we use super thick plots of trees that grow in about 10 years. We also pulp wood from managed forests where we can't afford to let it burn, like around major towns. We definitely used to clear cut, but it's not legal anymore.
