This bitch is not geared towards all smokers---just the ones who improperly dispose of their disgusting cigarette butts. I was just enjoying a lovely sunny day sitting on a park bench. Unfortunately my feet were totally surrounded by cigarette butts and there was a garbage can literally only a few feet away. Cigarette butts are not only gross, they are also toxic to the environment and can start fires if tossed before completely extinguished (recently a fire started by a carelessly disgarded cigarette butt destroyed a house in Dartmouth and heavily damaged another). Please, smokers, think before you discard! And now for a bit of good news. Apparently there is a company that recycles cigarette butts and other waste. Seriously! For every unit recycled, a donation is made to a charity or a school. I'm pretty sure I can't post the name here - but it can be Googled. I think this is a fantastic idea. —Butt Hater
