Safe Medication Disposal Tuesday, Jan 13 2009
Green Organizing chemicals, hazardous waste, hospital, medications, pharmacy, prescriptions, safe medication disposal 7:35 am
So you read my blog about getting rid of expired medications and you are ready for a clean out. Good for you! Now what? Down the drain, garbage can, flush it? Nope, let’s keep it out of the waterways!
According to www.medicinereturn.com, The U.S. Geological Survey tested 139 streams throughout the U.S. for the presence of 95 chemicals in 1999-2000 and found:
- 80% of streams contained 1 + of these chemicals
- 50% of streams contained 7 + chemicals
- 34% of streams contained 10 + chemicals
Of these 95 chemicals:
- 33 are known or suspected to be hormonally active
- 46 are pharmaceutically active (have the ability to affect living matter)
So, what to do?
- Go to www.earth911.com, click on Hazardous, then click on Medications. Type in your zip code and find out where you can deliver your unused medications.
- You can also see if your local pharmacy or hospital has a take-it-back program.
- Another option may be your local hazardous waste drop off location.
Keep your medicine cabinet and the water supply safe by parting with old medications properly.

New Year’s Resolutions Saturday, Jan 3 2009
Time Management & Goals changes, exercise, goals, New Year's Resolutions 6:30 am
We all do it, we all make big plans for positive changes for the new year and that’s a good thing! Whether it be losing weight, getting more exercise or getting organized, we need to take it a step further than just stating goals out loud. Make it happen in 2009!
- Pick 1 or 2 goals to start with, don’t overwhelm yourself trying to change too many things in your life at one time.
- Write down your goals, writing down goals goes a long way to help reach them!
- Write down the reasons you want to reach your goals.
- Write a date that you would like to reach your goals by.
- Write down the steps it will take to get there.
Remember, we don’t always reach our goals in a straight line. You may find you take one step forward and two steps back. That’s ok, just keep steppin’ forward and you will get there!
Elicit the support of others. Let lots of people know what your goals are and your deadlines, let them be your cheerleaders when you feel like giving up.
If you backslide, review your list of reasons of why you want to reach your goals. Use the list as motivation to keep going!
Make 2009 the year positive life changes happen!
