Fw: Dispose of Prescription Drugs on October 26

 

Saturday, October 26 is National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. Between 10:00am and 2:00pm, you can bring your unwanted prescription drugs or over-the-counter medicines to a collection site near you.

Enter your ZIP code to find your nearest collection site.

Properly disposing of medicines is important to human health and the environment. Here are a few tips from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency:

  • Don't flush medicines down the toilet or pour them down the drain. Doing so could affect drinking water sources.
  • Don't throw medicines directly in the trash. Doing so could lead to the poisoning of a child or pet, or drug abuse by a teen or adult.
  • Do find out how to properly dispose of medicines (PDF).

"TEY"
Alain Gomis, Senegal, 2012, 86m
 
Today is the last day of Satché's life. He knows this to be true even though he is strong and healthy. Nonetheless Satché (played by American actor-musician Saül Williams) accepts his imminent death. Walking through the streets of his home town in Senegal he takes in the sites of his past as if he were looking at them for the last time: his parents' house, his first love, the friends of his youth, his wife and children. Time and again he hears the same reproach: why didn't he stay in America, where he would have a future? Satché encounters his final moments full of fear but also with a sense of joy. In his film, director Alain Gomis takes a well-worn topic in Senegalese cinema and turns it on its head: unlike other films, many of which choose to focus on emigration and neo-colonialism, Gomis' work instead tells the story of a man who leaves America to return to the land of his birth. [Synopsis courtesy of Berlin International Film Festival]
 
Post-Screening Q&A with Director, Alain Gomis!
