The mission of Clean the World (established 2009) is simple -- help reduce infant mortality while also reducing environmental waste through a program that safely recycles discarded soaps and shampoos from hotels for redistribution. Walt Disney World resorts are among the numerous US and Canadian hotels that participate in the recycling program.</p>

(Sorry... I've just seen one too many "warnings" from Facebook contacts about how ordinary consumer products that millions of people are using with no ill effects are actually deadly.)
