The latest product for the eco bathroom? Quick-drying towels. These 100-percent cotton towels feature a special twist weave that helps the towels dry faster. That means less time in the dryer (which means energy savings) and less time air-drying (which means less mildew on the towels). You can find these quick-drying towels at all major retailers.

Old holiday candles you no longer want or burn can be recycled into new ones. Simple melt the candles in a large Pyrex measuring cup over a double boiler. When melted, pour the hot wax into watertight containers -- chipped wineglasses work well -- and insert a pre-tabbed wick (available from the craft store). Let cool completely and voila! You've got new candles.
