I saw this article in today's San Diego Union Tribune by Brian Skoloff about saving used "hotel" soap and providing it to people who need it. It describes Shawn Seipler's "Clean the World" organization.
MISSION: SAVING LIVES WITH SOAP | UTSanDiego.com There are a lot of organizations who make use of left over hotel soap and toiletries. But this one sounds like it is really doing it on a grand scale!
It is amazing how much we waste. The difficulty, of course, is collection and distribution. It all takes people's time and energy to gather, process and then redistribute.
On the front page of the same newspaper was a photo of food found in dumpsters showing how much usable food is going to trash. Another clear example of waste in our distribution system.
