#1. When you're done with your prescription medicines!!

"Potty Jokes" aside....it's really bad for the environment when prescription medicines are disposed in the toilet. Water from our homes travels through the sewer systems to a Water treatment plant. However, Water Treatment Plants do not remove drugs from waste water.. Therefore, the drug latent water from our homes pollute our rivers and streams. There are measurable levels of all kinds of prescription drugs in our rivers and streams.

Many local, regional, state and federal agencies have started the "No Drugs Down the Drain campaign in California. You can find where local events are happening in your community at http://www.nodrugsdownthedrain.org/. Also, check with your local Environmental Health Offices in your community for more environmentally friendly options.

Environmentally Yours,
