Recycle your specs

They reckon 200 million people around the world need glasses every year, but can't afford them. People who can't see properly, can't do their jobs - and kids who can't see properly, can't learn at school.

Apparently most people who wear glasses have more than one pair. Given that you can only wear one pair at once there's every chance at least one pair of glasses is sitting at the back of your sock drawer.

Which is a shame as they could be sitting on someone's nose helping them read and write.

So don't bin your old bins. Recycle 'em.

Take action
If you like the action, why not give it a go? We don't want you to spend hours trying to find out how to get started on each action, so we've got some ideas here.
