To facilitate compliance and to respond to these concerns, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is proposing to establish regulations specifically directed at the management and disposal of hazardous waste pharmaceuticals at healthcare-related facilities. The proposed standards (40 CFR 261, 262, 266, 268, and 273) were published on September 25, 2015 (80 Federal Register 186, 58014). Virtually any pharmacy, supplier, manufacturer and distributor of pharmaceutical products in the United States may be subject to a portion of these regulations.
On March 5, 21st Century Fox's Nat Geo WILD, in partnership with the Sun Valley Film Festival, announced Justin Grubb and Alex Goetz of Toledo, Ohio, as the winners of the third annual WILD TO INSPIRE filmmaking contest, which gives aspiring nature documentarians the chance to take an expedition to Africa. Over the next year, Grubb and Goetz will document their journeys to Nat Geo WILD viewers through video diaries, photos, social media and more, sharing their experience of what it's like to be Nat Geo WILD filmmakers. The contest is one of the many ways Nat Geo inspires viewers to explore the natural world and creates the next generation of global citizens.
