“Our customers are surprised to
learn about the harmful impacts
of pharmaceuticals in the
environment and the lack of safe
disposal options in the current
medical system. The Green
Pharmacy Program has brought
Pharmaca more customers than
our advertising!”
— Sal Nassar
Pharmacy Manager,
Berkeley, CA
“At Elephant Pharmacy, we promote healthful, earth-sustaining products in our
stores, so it’s natural for us to offer the Green Pharmacy Program. We are simply
providing our customers a service in response to the increasing awareness of the
environmental impact of improperly disposed medications. Green Pharmacy
Program shows our patients that we put our environmental beliefs into action.”
— Peter Koshland
PharmD, Elephant Pharmacy, Berkeley, CA
“Teleosis gave Pharmaca the opportunity to put our environmental philosophy into
practice. This partnership gave us the tools to educate customers about responsible
medication disposal. By expanding the program, Teleosis can help communities
improve the health of our water resources dramatically.”
