Why? Medication needs to be disposed of properly to protect our environment and particularly our water supply. Also, with drug addiction and abuse so rampant it is really best to not have unneeded medication in our homes.
I was doing a little research on this and apparently our water supply has lots of micro-plastics in it. These are teeny tiny particles of plastic that come from various sources. Some of this comes from just regular old plastic items breaking down over time. But the surprising source was some products like exfoliants and some tooth pastes were actually made with micro-plastics in them. I know. I was like what the what????? This micro-plastic inclusion has been banned in the United states for 4 years.....but is still allowed in some parts of the world. The mere fact that this was ever allowed is mind boggling to me. Anyway, medication that makes its way to the water supply clings to this micro-plastic making our water supply even worse. By the way, I did all this research on the internet.....so that makes it true....right?
How? This weekend you can take any old or unneeded medication and turn it in to be disposed of properly.
