BANNERS: Global HANDWASHING Day | October 15 (#GlobalHandWashingDay)

Global Handwashing Day (GHD) is a campaign to motivate and mobilize people around the world to improve their handwashing habits. Washing hands at critical points during the day and washing with soap are both important. #GlobalHandwashingDay

Global Handwashing Day occurs on 15 October of each year. The global campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of handwashing with soap as a key factor in disease prevention. Respiratory and intestinal diseases can be reduced by 25-50%.

The Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) (formerly called "Public Private Partnership for Handwashing" (PPPHW)) established Global Handwashing Day in 2008 as a way to promote a global and local vision of handwashing with soap.

Happy Global Handwashing Day!

BANNERS: National MUSHROOM Day | October 15 (#NationalMushroomDay)

Whether it's a cremini, portobello, enoki, shiitake or otherwise, this nutritious fungus definitely deserves a day of its own. Though neither meat nor vegetable, mushrooms are known as the "meat" of the vegetable world. #NationalMushroomDay

Celebrate this unofficial holiday today by serving up some mushrooms in an omelette, in a soup, in a salad, as a side dish - or any way you like!

Happy National Mushroom Day!
