Would you like some Prozac with your Water?

Credit to the the Urban Ecologist for bringing this article to my attention: an article in the Washington Post describes how pharmaceuticals (hormones, anti-depressants, etc.) are showing up in our water supply and water systems. And scientists are trying to gauge the affect on fish and other water-life (some evidence points to decreased reproductive rates of water species).

It is a reminder that it is not just important HOW we despose of the stuff we are finished using, but limited the amount we use and what we use in order to keep it out of the environment in the first place.
