問題詳情:
Shawn Seipler is on the way to saving lives with soap. It began about seven years ago as a tiny business with a few friends and family in a single car garage in Florida, where they recycled used soap into fresh bars. The organization, now called Clean the World, has grown to include cities where hotels are plentiful and used bars of soap can be gathered easily.
As a frequent traveler while working for a tech company, Seipler had a sudden thought one night at a hotel. “I picked up the phone and called the front desk and asked them what happened to the bar of soap when I was done using it,” he recalled. Learning that they would go to the dustbin, he began his task to help save lives with soap and even half-used bottles of shampoo. It’s a huge problem. One of the most common kinds of illnesses in the world are those that are passed from person to person and to oneself because of dirty things that are on one’s hands.
In the U.S. and other developed nations, hygiene (衛生) products are everywhere. Not so in some other countries, where Seipler recalled visiting a hospital once in the Middle East to find that soap was in such short supply that patients had to provide their own. “It’s such an important part of the interruption of infectious germs that could save so many lives,” he said.
Clean the World now collects used soap from more than 4,000 hotels and has delivered 25 million bars to 99 countries. The process is fairly simple with the collected soap being cut into pieces and then run through machines that remove any remaining bacteria before being pressed into new bars of soap and packaged for delivery.
