Disposal of Unwanted Medicines: A 4-H Guide

This guide is a collaborative project of Purdue Extension and the Illinois-Indiana Sea GrantProgram. The Disposal of Unwanted Medicines 4-H guide has been developed to help high school  youth understand why chemicals from medications are being found in the environment, the harm these 
chemicals can cause, and what can be done about it. Five inquiry-based lessons are included:
•    So, what’s the big deal?
•    What are the issues?
•    What should I be concerned about?
•    What are my options?
•    How can I let other people know about these issues?

These lessons are intended to be introduced and led by an adult instructor (4-H volunteer, Extension Educator, teacher, or other educator) but with the youth increasingly taking leadership as they progress. Students will gain important life skills including teamwork, communicating with others, information gathering, informal analysis, and decision-making.
