Several years ago my Dad passed away with lung cancer. The last months of his life he was at home in the care of Hospice.

The day he passed while waiting for everyone to do their required duty the Hospice nurse walks in the kitchen turns on the water and the disposal and starts dumping all his unused medications down the drain.

Times that by all the people every year and yet we stand dumbfounded about drugs in water.

This practice needs to be addressed, decades ago we never thought putting chemicals in the air was a bad practice the sky is big.
