Do you need a new toilet? Consider the new dual-flush type. Half the water is used to get rid of the easy stuff, while a full flush sends the rest on its merry way. Conserving water in the toilet will go a long way toward surviving the drought if you live in the Western part of the U.S. Elsewhere in the U.S.–it’s just the right thing to do for our planet.

Left-over prescription medicines are a big problem. We can’t flush them down the toilet because they’ll pollute our water. Tossing them into the garbage means they’ll end up in the landfill, where birds and animals can get to them and be harmed. Instead, we can donate them to San Jose Flying Doctors (279-8445). Also, we can go to http://earth911.com/recycling or www.teleosis.org/gpp-program.php to recycle them. Some pharmacies will take them, too, if you ask. Otherwise, we must learn how to safely dispose of them ourselves.
