00:33
If we could reduce the usage of paper towels,

Hvis vi kunne redusere bruken av tørkepapir,
00:36
one paper towel per person per day,

ett tørk per person per dag,
00:39
571,230,000 pounds of paper not used.

27800

571,230,000 pund (259,106,000 kilo) papir som ikke blir brukt.
00:46
We can do that.
9
34681
2135
Det kan vi klare.
00:48
Now there are all kinds of paper towel dispensers.
10
36816
3930
Det finnes alle mulige slags typer tørkepapirdispensere.
00:52
There's the tri-fold. People typically take two or three.
11
40746
4231
Vi har papiret som er brettet i tre. Folk tar to eller tre.
00:56
There's the one that cuts it, that you have to tear off.
12
44977
4163
Så er det den som deler det, der du må rive det av.
01:01
People go one, two, three, four, tear.
13
49140
2264
En, to, tre, fire, riv.
01:03
This much, right?
14
51404
1438
Så mye, stemmer det?
01:04
There's the one that cuts itself.
15
52842
2465
Så er det den som river seg selv.
01:07
People go, one, two, three, four.
16
55307
4140
En, to, tre, fire.
01:11
Or there's the same thing, but recycled paper,
17
59447
4075
Eller det er den samme, men med resirkulert papir,
01:15
you have to get five of those because they're not as absorbant, of course.
18
63522
4513
du må ha fem av dem, for de absorberer selvfølgelig ikke like godt.
01:20
The fact is, you can do it all with one towel.
19
68035
6521
Sannheten er at du kan greie deg fint med ett tørk.
01:26
The key, two words:
20
74556
2040
Fasiten, to ord:
01:28
This half of the room, your word is "shake."
21
76596
4448
Denne halvdelen av salen, deres ord er "rist,"
01:33
Let's hear it. Shake. Louder.
22
81044
2182
La meg høre. Rist. Høyere.
01:35
Audience: Shake.
23
83226
1545
Publikum: Rist.
01:36
Joe Smith: Your word is "fold."
24
84771
2176
Joe Smith: Deres ord er "brett."
01:38
Audience: Fold.
25
86947
1116
Publikum: Brett.
01:40
JS: Again.
26
88063
927
JS: En gang til.
01:40
Audience: Fold. JS: Really loud.
27
88990
2069
Publikum: Brett. JS: Skikkelig høyt.
01:43
Audience: Shake. Fold.
28
91059
1548
Publikum: Rist. Brett.
01:44
JS: Okay. Wet hands.
29
92607
4160
JS: Okay. Våte hender.
01:48
Shake -- one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12.
30
96767
4800
Rist - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.
01:53
Why 12? Twelve apostles, twelve tribes,
31
101567
2938
Hvorfor 12? Tolv apostler, tolv stammer,
01:56
twelve zodiac signs, twelve months. The one I like the best:
32
104505
4107
tolv stjernetegn, tolv måneder. Denne liker jeg best:
02:00
It's the biggest number with one syllable.
33
108612
2197
Det er det største tallet med en stavelse.
02:02
(Laughter)
34
110809
4262
(Latter)
02:07
Tri-fold. Fold ...
35
115071
7360
Papiret som er brettet i tre. Brett...
02:14
Dry.
36
122431
1552
Tørk.
02:15
(Applause)
37
123983
4232
(Applaus)
02:20
Audience: Shake.
38
128215
5214
Publikum: Rist.
02:25
Fold.
39
133429
2932
Brett.
02:28
JS: Cuts itself. Fold. The fold is important
40
136361
2578
LS: River seg selv. Brett. Bretten er viktig
02:30
because it allows interstitial suspension.
41
138939
4882
fordi den tillater fjæring mellom lagene.
02:35
You don't have to remember that part, but trust me.
42
143821
2478
Dere trenger ikke å huske det, men stol på meg.
02:38
(Laughter)
43
146299
5053
(Latter)
02:43
Audience: Shake. Fold.
44
151352
6717
Publikum: Rist. Brett.
02:50
JS: Cuts itself.
45
158069
5662
JS: River seg selv.
02:55
You know the funny thing is,
46
163731
1157
Det morsomme er
02:56
I get my hands drier than people do with three or four,
47
164888
2175
at jeg får tørrere hender enn folk gjør med tre eller fire
02:59
because they can't get in between the cracks.
48
167063
2448
fordi de kommer ikke til innimellom sprekkene.
03:01
If you think this isn't as good...
49
169511
3144
Hvis dere ikke tror dette fungerer så godt...
03:04
Audience: Shake. Fold.
50
172655
8469
Publikum: Rist. Brett.
03:13
JS: Now, there's now a real fancy invention,
51
181124
3568
JS: OK, dette er en skikkelig stilig oppfinnelse,
03:16
it's the one where you wave your hand
52
184692
2407
du vifter med hånden
03:19
and it kicks it out.
53
187099
1791
og den spytter det ut.
03:20
It's way too big a towel.
54
188890
2086
Det er et altfor stort tørk.
03:22
Let me tell you a secret.
55
190976
1027
La meg fortelle dere en hemmelighet.
03:24
If you're really quick, if you're really quick --
56
192003
2087
Hvis dere er veldig raske, hvis dere er veldig raske -
03:26
and I can prove this --
57
194090
1580
og jeg kan bevise dette -
03:27
this is half a towel from the dispenser in this building.
58
195670
4849
dette er et halvt tørk fra dispenseren i denne bygningen.
03:32
How? As soon as it starts, you just tear it off.
59
200519
3367
Hvordan? Så fort den starter, bare riv det av.
03:35
It's smart enough to stop.
60
203886
1672
Den er smart nok til å stoppe.
03:37
And you get half a towel.
61
205558
3992
Og du får et halvt tørk.
03:41
Audience: Shake. Fold.
62
209550
13277
Publikum: Rist. Brett.
03:54
JS: Now, let's all say it together. Shake. Fold.
63
222827
6834
JS: OK, la oss si det sammen. Rist. Brett.
04:01
You will for the rest of your life remember those words
64
229661
4143
Dere vil huske de ordene for resten av livet
04:05
every time you pick up a paper towel.
65
233804
2983
hver gang dere skal ta et tørkepapir.
04:08
And remember, one towel per person for one year --
66
236787
5088
Og husk, ett tørk per person i ett år -
04:13
571,230,000 pounds of paper. No small thing.
67
241875
4720
259,106,000 kilo papir. Ikke småtteri.
04:18
And next year, toilet paper.
68
246595
2248
Og neste år, toalettpapir.
04:20
(Laughter)
69
248843
