According to the EPA, the leading source of pollution in surface drinking water supplies is polluted rainwater runoff. Many pollutants are found in legal, commonly used household products – cleaning chemicals for our homes, oil and gasoline for our vehicles, pesticides and fertilizers for our lawns, and pharmaceuticals for ourselves.

Please help protect our water supplies by making sure these potentially harmful products are used only in limited quantities when necessary, and that they are disposed of properly.

For simple household tips on what you can do to help, see the link.

** Pharmaceuticals:  Deposing of pharmaceuticals do not have a good solution yet – at leas tin NY State.

The best solution:  add water to the vial +  kitty litter, close the lid, put n a ziplock and in the trash.  (or take it to a hazardous waste facility)

Maybe we can use beneficial microbes? Let’s research that.
