This is good stuff except it's beginning to be the case that flushing unused drugs is a bad idea. They're beginning to show up in the ecology in higher than expected amounts and can cause some real problems. After all they're drugs and are supposed to do things. Particularly if you want to dispose of drugs that may contain hormones, or of strong pain killers, I'd call the farmacy where you got them and see if they can properly dispose of them. This is a new concern, so many places may not yet be up to speed on it, but we need to begin making farmacies and drug companies aware they need to deal with the full life cycle of there products. Just like with the electronics industry. Tom fowle [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
