“one billion cigarette butts are dropped on Sweden’s streets each year”

__________

NFN, but who died and made smokers king?

How hard is it to ensure that one does not by one’s lifestyle thoughtlessly add to the total quantity of trash left behind in the public streets?

Are cigarette butts like wild broncos, impossible to contain or corrall, once they are created?

Is it a fact that all the world is an ashtray and non-smokers just missed the memo?

Okay, dismounting holier-than-thou soapbox now.

Still disgusted though.

I once saw a crow that was a recycling crow
He talked too...”recycle, recycle!”.
Cans, paper, plastic, glass.
Couldn’t pick up a beer bottle though.

As soon as the crows learn that a stick or pebble dropped into the bin returns the same result as a cigarette butt it’s game over.

Even before he mentioned that he uses sticks to train them I thought that. Then when I got to the part about the sticks....

Why not just use cigarette butts to begin with?

Hmmm, with all the environmental actions I find it interesting the tobacco hasn’t been banned or at the very least, cigarette filters.

Cigarette filters are unsightly, aren’t that biodegradable, werent developed until around the later 40s... cigarette trash would be literally nonexistent without filter material laying about.
