Did you know hundreds of millions of people all over the world live with visual impairment that could be easily fixed with an eye exam and a pair of eyeglasses? The next time you need a pair of glasses, consider shopping with a brand or retailer that matches your purchase with a donated pair for someone in need. Brands like Warby Parker give a free pair for every pair sold, which means when you’re seeing better, someone else in the world is, too.

Have you hoarded small bars of soap after hotel stays, or maybe found yourself with slivers of soap bars in the shower? You can put these leftovers to use by running them over a box grater and turning them into little soap flakes that are the perfect material to create a soothing bubble bath. Just grate away and sprinkle some flakes into the bathtub as it’s filling up. In no time flat, you’ll have a luxurious bubble bath that’ll have you saying “ahhhh.”

One of the easiest ways to find a new home for things you no longer need is to have a yard sale. But a single-residence yard sale is less effective than when many homes have a sale together, so coordinate with your neighbors to designate a special day when all of you can have yard sales. The more homes offering yard sales, the more likely you’ll draw a steady flow of bargain hunters ready to purchase your used wares. And when your sales are done, work together with your neighbors to collect and donate the unsold items to charities like Goodwill.
