Clean out those half-empty soaps, shampoos, conditioners and lotions you’ve dragged home from every hotel and donate them to Clean the World. This ingenious non-profit organization collects, sorts and sanitizes discarded toiletries, then delivers them to homeless shelters and impoverished countries where five million people – mostly children – die every year from hygiene-related diseases which are preventable by hand washing with soap.
The idea is so simple and so brilliant, and more than 250 big-name hotels, including Walt Disney World Resort, have already gotten on board, donating the partially-used amenities their guests leave behind.
Clean the World distributed 180 tons of hygiene products to the victims of the Haiti earthquake alone. Find out how you can help them save lives by visiting the Clean the World website.
Read the introduction to Laura Vanderkam’s life-changing book, “168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think,” and start making over your attitude toward time. We’ll be featuring this book in detail – including a Challenge with the author herself — down the line but just spending 10 minutes drinking in this new way of looking at your life will show you to make the most of the 10,070 minutes you’ll still have left this week.
