Packard Jennings – The Pocket Survival Guide

Participants are invited to meet at SoEx for a 20-minute workshop to fold instructional pamphlets on how to devise an emergency raft out of recycled product packaging in case of a catastrophic flood- a consequence of consumer waste and mass production that contributes to pollution, and global warming.

Once the Pocket Survival Guides are folded, participants will enter various stores and install them on consumer products to replicate “instant savings coupons.” Future customers will be happy to find their household purchases subverted by public art!

Pocket Survival Guide is also in NYC through Dec 19th, 2009

How To Recycle Old Reading Glasses

Over 25 percent of the world population is in need of reading glasses, according to the World Health Organization. In light of this, it is an unfortunate fact that over 4 million North Americans throw away their old reading glasses, as reported by Good Housekeeping. The problem is many people don’t realize there are ways to recycle old or unused eyeglasses. If you have a collection of old glasses that are collecting dust, this guide describes five different ways you can donate your glasses and help someone who is in need.

1. Unite for Sight – This organization assists needy people worldwide by providing eye exams, diagnosis and care for treatable conditions, and education on how to maintain eye health. They have assisted over 1,000,000 people.
2. Lions Club International – The Lions Club’s charity named Give the Gift of Sight is the largest effort to collect eyeglass donations. They give the collected donations to churches, libraries, optometrists, community centers, and schools, which then disperse them to the needy. To find the collection box nearest you, contact your local Lions Club chapter; they accept any frame or prescription.
3. One Sight – This organization also collects used reading glasses of all prescriptions and frames. Visit your local Pearle Vision store to donate to this group.
4. Thrift Stores – Thrift stores like Goodwill, the Salvation Army, or a local resale shop will accept used spectacles. They will sell the reading glasses for a marked-down price.
5. Recycle Centers-A recycling center can take your old frames and lenses and recycle the glass and plastic, just as they recycle milk jugs and aluminum cans.

With these options, don’t let your unused spectacles go to waste. It doesn’t matter if you feel they are too old or outdated, someone else can benefit from your older eyewear.
