Green Tip of the Day

Donate your spare eyeglasses

Giving someone a new set of eyeglasses helps you clean out your junk drawer and saves a little energy. It's as easy as dropping them off or mailing them to a service that will redistribute them to people with that can use your old prescription. Reusing glasses means saving the energy and materials needed to create a new pair.

Drop off old prescription or nonprescription glasses at your local Lions Club, LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears, Target, or BJ's Optical store (they'll give you a receipt for taxes), or mail them in (and request a receipt).
