You can also collect disposable utensils and donate them to a soup kitchen. Worn-out towels can be sent to animal shelters. Free talent donation lectures are another option.

Biometric information is highly secure because it uses characteristics that are unique to each individual. That's why it’s being used as next-gen technology for security in various fields. The technology helps users to efficiently use a phone by scanning fingerprints or through facial recognition. It's especially useful for unlocking a phone or for financial transactions. Recent technology enables facial scans even when wearing a mask, which is very convenient. Next, it's possible to ID someone using a palmprint when preparing to board a flight.
