  • Did you know that for the last ten years used soap bars at Walt Disney World hotels haven't been thrown in the trash? Instead, they’re being recycled to make, well, more soap.

      It's much better for the environment if you take the soap home with you and use it yourself. Bleaching the soap, reshaping it in a factory, and shipping it in a diesel-burning ship halfway round the world is terrible for the environment. Not to mention, native African industry can't compete with tonnes of Western surplus products being given away for free. A lot of Africa's domestic shoe industry has been devastated by corporations like Nike giving away millions of pairs of shoes for free as part of their charitable PR activities.

    You may have the most organized video presentation technique ever, and I love it. It’s like a more concise, theme park version of Game Theory. You pose a weird question or fact, give the answer or resolution upfront, and then elaborate. It’s so nice to not get through 10 minutes of a video to realize they just plain don’t have the answer to their own question.
    Plus, you talk about stuff related to parks other than just rides, which I LOVE.

    Kind of upsetting since that same airport lost our luggage for the entire trip there and back + 2-3 weeks extra. They sent it to the wrong airport over and over before realising, "hey, maybe we should send it back to them?" -_-
    It had all our clothes, toothpaste and other nessicary things. We had to literally survive on the disney giftshop; only to be greeted with "no soap" on the way back! Thought I'd share this funny story from "Air France".

  • @1sttigertiger426
    @1sttigertiger426 4 года назад +1

    I don't agree for the hotels to pay 50 cents per room per month ($6 per room per year) for the collection and cleaning of used soap bars. The hotels already donate the soap bars, and have their staff collect them. This fee also deters other hotels from participating. The non-profit should cover this cost from other donations.

It mostly keeps their own businesses from ever doing well: For clothing donations, now local textile places and retail are going to suffer; free soap? too bad a lot of hand pressed soap is popular cus now those markets will suffer. I used to buy African handmade soap, then they went out of business cus of charities like this.
