\nTaking
\nAction<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
Our
\nhouseholds have a serious impact on water quality. Many of the
\nproducts we find in our home are toxic and new knowledge is
\ncausing the list to grow. Small dry cell batteries, used in
\ntoys and flashlights for example, are found to contribute heavy
\nmetals such as cadmium to the environment and should be disposed
\nof on hazardous waste collection days rather than in our garbage.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u2022
\nBecome informed. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Read
\nlabels to know what you are buying and what are the potential
\nhazards. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Follow
\nlabel directions. If you don’t understand them, ask the manufacturer
\nor dealer or call your WSU Cooperative Extension agent for an
\nexplanation before using. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Use
\nalternative, less harmful products whenever possible. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Use
\nthe least toxic product you can find and buy only what you need.
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Never
\nuse more of a product that the manufacturer recommends. <\/span>\u2022
\n<\/span>Dispose
\nof your unwanted household chemicals properly. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Take
\nused motor oil to a recycling station. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022
\n<\/span>Insist
\non effective sewage treatment for your community by correcting
\nfailing septic tanks and keeping treatment plants operating properly.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
