May I call you on this story idea?
"The National Community Pharmacist Association estimates that 200 million pounds of medicines are thrown away a year. But where is this unused medicine going? How do people properly dispose of their medications? Do they just keep them in their cabinets? Do they flush them down the toilet or toss them in the trash? The answer to all of this is NO because there is a great danger to doing any of the above, medicine left in cabinets can lead to overdose or misuse and meds tossed in trash or toilet can lead to disruptions in our environment. Pill Terminator IS the answer. The Pill Terminator is a new product that is available and is protecting teenagers, children, pets and the environment from the harsh effects of consuming medications, expired pills or improperly disposing prescription medicines. The Pill Terminator is easily available online and only costs $12.95 each and can eliminate up to 300 pills at a time. The Pill Terminator serves to reduce this risk by rendering the prescription drugs unpalatable and the pills, syrup, capsules or suspension can be safely discarded in the household trash. By simply depositing the unwanted medicine, adding water and shaking, you will safely and effectively destroy the medication."
