Now I don't normally blog about things outside of our daily life, but I am taking the time to blog about a program that is as about as awesome as electronic recycling in my opinion: the National Take Back Initiative. This is a program sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration to provide a location where people can safely dispose of unwanted and unused prescription drugs, as well as expired drugs purchased over the counter, in an attempt to keep prescription drugs from hitting the streets, being abused by family members, and not end up in our water supply or land fills.
I missed the first event in September 2010, but when I cleaned up our medicine cabinet I put all the expired medication in a bag and have been holding on to it in hopes that they would have this event again. I encourage you all to do the same this Saturday, April 30, 2011, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
