What about those cloth-towel dispensery things (you know, the ones where you dry your hands on a bit of clothlike towel, which is automatically dispensed then sucked back into the machine when you wave your hands in front of it). I presume that they work by somehow drying and disinfecting the ream of clothtowel that they put out? In my mind those always seemed the most environmentally friendly.
And all the hooha about dryers and bacteria... honestly. A restroom is probably one of the cleanest places in your average mall complex/office. I'm not saying you shouldn't wash your hands, but some people just get really hysterical about "germs" and the like.
