Dispose of old medications at Safeway/Albertsons
Check your medicine cabinet and you’ll likely find medications that are out of date or you no longer take. You shouldn’t flush them down the toilet because the medication ends up in rivers, affecting aquatic life.
Up to now, it’s been inconvenient to get rid of them.

Safeway/Albertsons has solved that problem. You can dump bottles of pills or liquids, prescriptions or over the counter meds, into their gray bins. You might want to mark out your personal information with a permanent marker first.
You can watch a short video about the program here.

Answers to key questions about a commodity that, for better or for worse, is here to stay

On 18 December 1591, a seven-month sea voyage from Africa to England ended when a ship anchored at Limehouse docks in London. Along with 150 elephant tusks and 589 sacks of pepper, the ship carried 32 barrels of palm oil. It is thought to have been the first arrival into Europe of what would become perhaps the most controversial plant product that is not a drug.
To say that palm oil is divisive is an understatement. To its advocates, it is a cornerstone of economic development, making efficient use of land and supporting millions of smallholders through profitable international trade. To its detractors, it is a cause of deforestation and social conflict, a direct threat to endangered species and a contributor to climate change.

Campaigners from the NoToDogMeat charity have recently arrived in Yulin, South East China, preparing to document the slaughter and rescue as many dogs as possible.
In footage obtained by the charity and shared with the Mirror, shops are seen laying out dog corpses on the counters shops ahead of the June 21 Summer Solstice event.
The dogs, which have been rounded up from nearby villages and transported to the festival, will be consumed for a period of 10 days.
