Don't use %ENV to store anything, and try to keep you're data in some sort of secure form in memory (encrypted or something).
There are system level things to keep your data safe, and application level methods. I prefer to use both methods if I can. No amount of wiping and encrypting is going to keep data safe without good secure design from the ground up. Sometimes, system level security can be made almost superfluous.
