Cigarette Butt Challenge - Removing This Frequently Littered Item


--by greenurlifenow, posted Jul 14, 2024
Cigarette butts are one of the top items that are littered, worldwide. They find their ways into our waterways after it rains, and can negative impacts to the planet, including animals.

There was a weeklong Cigarette Butt Challenge, where people would sign up and collect and dispose of littered butts.

It’s incredible how many gross butts you can find, everywhere.

I spent time on the weekend doing this.
