The statistics and costs are staggering. Our drinking water is being polluted, children are at danger and the environment is being
strangled by toxic cigarette butts. The statistics alone are enough to scare anyone, and the cost of clean-up may be hurting your businesses'
bottom line!
FYI:
7 Trillion Cigarette Butts are littered every year…that's 2.5 Billion pounds
6,000 children each year are harmed by cigarettes and cigarette butts
Cigarette butts are the number one littered item in the world
58 out of every 100 cigarettes smoked outside are littered
1,200 plastic based fibers are in a cigarette butt
Cigarette Butts are non-biodegradable
200 butts contain enough nicotine to kill an adult
1 Cigarette Butt can contaminate 2 gallons of water and kill precious marine life
Over 1,000 people die each year to house fires started by cigarette butts
Formaldehyde and Arsenic are two of the many toxic chemicals found in just one cigarette butt
Animals and wildlife die or get sick every year from ingesting discarded cigarette butts
When it rains, butts are washed into storm drains and end up in our water supply
In other words, BUTTS ARE GROSS!
