| Not sure if I should toss these two glasses or not... |

| There will be future eclipses. |

Are you planning on saving these for 20 years? The next US visible one is in 2044. |

| Toss. If you happen to be in viewing range of another eclipse, you can get another pair. |

You can search around, but I think some places are accepting them as donations to South America, where there will be an eclipse in 2025.
It's another 20 years before another one in the Continental US. |

That wasn't helpful. Thank you to the others though! |

| My kids school is collecting them to send to South America. |

| Well, I didn't deal in time to get some for last month's eclipse but had a sneaking suspicion that I still had a pair somewhere from the last one as I recalled moving them around from place to place, not knowing what to do with them and whether or not I should bother to keep. So, DH and I tore up the house and found them! And we were glad to have them. |

Yeah, if we were having another eclipse here in the next few years, that would be one thing, but 20 years? Not worth keeping track of. |
