Cosmetics, Drugs and Water Pollution
Need another reason to finish off your prescription? Medication released into the environment can effect animals and plants even in small amounts. This less-publicized cause of water pollution is also less-regulated. However, unused drugs are a huge water pollution problem, as enzymes and chemicals in the drugs are often carcinogenic. Unused cosmetics, perfumeds and even sunscreens have been shown to cause harm to wildlife as well. Because medicines and cosmetics can't be recycled, be sure to only purchase what you know you will need and always complete your recommended dosage.
