Alright, so it's come and gone, and hopefully the world can go back to normal now. 2024's solar eclipse is behind us, and now there's tons of paper and plastic solar eclipse glasses everywhere. Your first thought is probably to just throw them out, but I found an even better idea for you.

Before you throw the pair of glasses out, there's a simple way you can help the environment. Qcnews coming in hot with the recommendation of removing the lenses and recycling the cardboard.

Here's what ksat.com says:

If your glasses are safe for future use, consider donating them to organizations that send pairs to students and educators in other countries.

On another note, is anybody else feeling relieved that this solar eclipse drama is finally over? By drama I mean dealing with weird, ironic things happening. Anyways, do your part, and recycle those glasses!
