fish and wildlife services, the american pharmacists' association, and the pharmaceutical manufacturers association. together, public and private enterprises are working to have a coordinated effort at keeping api's out of the system and we think that san francisco should support this effort. an uncoordinated effort could do more harm than good in undermining the federal efforts already underway. bye-bye to dissuade a couple of issues that my colleague has already mentioned. first, the waterways are shared. as a patchwork of ordinances' amongst city governments, it will not effectively address the problem. multiple european studies have found that mandatory take back programs are not effective. studies have shown that over 90% of the drugs that get into landfill and waterways are because of excretion from patient use, not take back programs. we would urge the city of san francisco to reject the city program and, in its stead, support the smart disposal federal program already under way, and to also support the american medical chest challenge day coming next month. thank you. supervisor
