Illegal Dumping in California

           A California judge is ordering that Walgreens pay almost 17 million dollars for dumping hazardous waste illegally. The lawsuit was filed in early June of 2012 and is just now going to be put into order. It was said that they were throwing pesticides, bleach, paint, pharmaceutical waste, and other chemicals, they were also accused of throwing away customer records and other confidential medical records. 

           In my opinion i think that if they would have just payed the money to take care of the waste it would have been much more cost effective and would not have ended in the loss of so much money at one time and a tarnished reputation. If things would be taken care of properly this kind of stuff would not happen and people would not have to worry about pollution.
