If you find yourself at the optometrist in need of new glasses, think carefully about what you'll do with your old pair. Most optometrists have a little box from the Lion's Club in their office where you can donate your old glasses to a worthy cause.
What happens after you drop off your old glasses? According to the Lion's Club website, "volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Most of the recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in developing countries where they will have the greatest impact."
It's not only prescription eye glasses you can donate to the Lions Club. The organization says, "Lions accept prescription and reading glasses, sunglasses and plastic and metal frames. Children's glasses are especially needed."
Just another easy way to reuse valuable resources -- and help a good cause.
