Throw your cigarette butts in the garbage!
This one goes out to all the smokers (myself included):
Please throw your cigarette butts in the garbage!
While our society has made leaps and bounds in making littering socially unacceptable, littering cigarette butts is still generally accepted.
Did you know that...?
- Cigarette butts take 1-5 years to break down.
- Cigarette butts are not biodegradeable.
- 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered worldwide each year.
Every day, I see people throw their butts on the road when there is a garbage can right beside them. Even if there is not a garbage can near you, out your cigarette and hold it in your hand until you find one.
(Also, please make sure to out your cigarette before putting it in the garbage to prevent a fire.)

Have you tested this? If so, what do you recommend? Continuing to litter?

when i was a kid there were outdoor ashtrays all over toronto. They were either just pits or pits filled with a white sandy material. I guess the government took them away because they are anti tobacco nazis now.

Don't worry, Stephen Harper is going to swoop in on his jet to take all the cigarette butts to safety with him. Everything will be okay!
