Look inside your kitchen cupboards and all the cleaning potions; out in your garage, shed or workshop, your poolshed, the boot of your car even your medicine cabinet. You'll likely find a toxic waste dump rivalling many chemical companies, just on a smaller scale.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greenlivingtips.com/articles/207/1/Hazardous-waste-at-home.html"><P>It's rather sobering when you put all this stuff in a pile. Let's say that there's just 1 gallon of these materials in the average home and that's possibly a gross underestimation. Based on figures from 2000, a household consists of around 2.6 people. The current population of the USA as at July 2007 was 301 million; so that makes over 115 million households, 115 million gallons - which is an incredible 2,613,636 44 gallon oil drums full of toxic materials out there in households. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greenlivingtips.com/articles/207/1/Hazardous-waste-at-home.html">The best thing you can do is to call your local government waste authority and ask them about hazardous waste disposal.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.greenlivingtips.com/articles/207/1/Hazardous-waste-at-home.html">prevention is better</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F9222B60-72AA-458C-8D14-11FE0B58AA1A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
