It would be good to followup and make sure the ad agency is aware of the
range of activities going on. Might help as well. Stevan Gressitt

Subject: [Pharmwaste] "drug throw away month"
Here's a post from Lynn Rubenstein:
Hello. Just an interesting tidbit to share. I just had a conversation with
an ad agency in Boston who wanted NERC's help in promoting their October
"drug throw away month" program. When questioned, she said yes, it really
was to encourage people to "get rid of their expired and unwanted drugs by
throwing them out or flushing them." I stressed that while I supported the
need to get expired and unwanted medications of the home, telling people to
just "get rid of them" was a grossly negligent strategy for the health plan
to be taking. I stressed the need for proper disposal, including haz. waste
and police involvement. She said "she'd pass the word". Great. Lynn
