					<description><![CDATA[there is no right answer for this, other then to quit smoking (I am a smoker) or for the cigarette companies to make a difference in their butt composition. If we can put a man on the moon we should be able to make a chemical locking biodegradable cigarette butt. Or we should think of a better place to put them then in our environment. Regardless if they go in the landfill or public environment, the buggers still leak chemicals into our environment for over 75 years. :(]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just spent the last 1 and a half hours searching the internet to find the cheapest e-cigarette kits.  The best deal I can find is $20 for the 2 piece e-cig (the best kind they make) and it comes with 4 cartridges and a charger.  just google this &#039;20 dollar smoke&#039;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is estimated that several billion cigarette butts are littered worldwide every year - WHERE THERE IS SMOKE - THERE IS FIRE

ButtLess Personal Ashtrays are:

Fire &#038; Heat Resistant - Made from heat retardant material and metal inner lining

Completely Airtight - Clip lock mechanism with additional rubber seal

Increasingly Trendy – Smokers will use it

Durability - Dishwasher safe (warm) with long lasting lifespan

Odour Free - Extinguishes the cigarette quickly and seals in the odour

Availability - Minimum orders of 320 units shipped worldwide

Size and Shape - The image (as above) is a perfect guide to the size of the unit


Advertising Potential - Advertise a company, campaign or institution

Notable information:  Cigarette Butts also present very dangerous and sometimes fatal threats to wildlife. They have been found in the stomachs of   fish, birds, domestic animals and marine creatures which innocently mistake them for food.   Composed of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic, cigarette butts can persist in the environment as long as 11 years (British American Tobacco).  Other research suggests as long as 15 years, similar to other forms of plastic.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Funny how tobacco companies are so keen on being involved with groups that purport to be interested in tobacco litter.

But of course they always talk about encouraging smokers to &#039;be responsible&#039; and encourage councils etc to put ashtrays everywhere even though the vast majority of people don&#039;t smoke.

Keep your eyes open because MOST of the websites and organisations I have seen on tobacco litter issues have tobacco companies behind them.

So of course there are no calls for smokefree beaches and smokefree parks etc - that would make smoking look socially unacceptable.

There are no proposals to reduce packaging - that would undermine the most important marketing avenue available to them.

And of course there are no calls for people to quit for the environment (even though litter is only the tip of the iceberg when you investigate the environmental effects of tobacco) - that would encourage people to quit (fewer customers to make money off).]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi, It&#039;s me again...
The article missed some crucial points regarding FACTS on cigarette butts littering. I think it is important to point a few of those:
1. It&#039;s is the most littered item in the world in absolute numbers(above 50% on land and above 35% in sea). This fact is based on local and worldwide litter surveys.
2. It&#039;s the most littered item (80%) relatively (the percentage of items littered in respect to the whole amount of the same item). People just don&#039;t treat it as litter. This fact is based on an Australian and Irish surveys.
3. There are about 5,500,000,000,000 (5.5 Trillion) cigarette butts manufactured every year. If you put them one by one they will make a line that can connect the Earth to the Sun (8 minutes of the speed of light). http://www.longwood.edu/cleanva/cigbutthowmany.htm
4. The American fire report claims that most (over 50%) of fires in nature are due to lit cigarette butts.
5. About 1500 cases of babies swallowing cigarette butts are reported in the US a year.
6. England claims that the cost of cigarette butt littering stand on 200,000,000 pounds a year (This include picking them up and cleaning the sewage).

That&#039;s it for now but there are plenty of other amazing fact such as that most microorganism die in 8 litter of water due to want littered cigarette butt. There is enough poison in 200 cigarette butts to kill one grownup. Think about the Sea of Galilei (Kineret). This is what we drink....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am currently in a contest hosted by Timberland with there EarthKeepers site, to be a Change Agent, to help finance a great enviromental cause...anyone that is environmentally conscious, please check out my site:

www.changents.com/ResponsibleSmokersAct

then register and &quot;back&quot; my &quot;cause&quot;. If i get enough attention i might be able to make this life long dream of mine, come true. I was born on Earth Day of &#039;78 and from about 13 years i have tried to gain interest in someone else to help for this non profit.

 My organization hopes to educate on the environmental impact of cigarette litter. But what makes this idea unique, is that i want to collect cigarettes to make cigarette collection facilities out of them. which in turn print educational material on them....in a way a self-sustaining perpetual infrastructure.

Anyone that smokes or just hates cigarette litter or environmental hearted please join me and help make Responsible Smokers Act a reality

I am asking for obvious partners of sponsors, lawyers, accountants,web designers, graphic artist, photographers, environmental and civil servants, please if you think you can offer anything that would solve the problem of cancerous materials being littered by the trillions into everyday surroundings.
I will give anyone a chance to do there part for the Earth

If you have seen the movie Erin Brocovich. the environmental moral of that story is...  Sometimes small doses, administered over a long time, makes our bodies absorb the same chemicals as if you where to smoke the original cigarette itself.

*  Cigarette pollution cost millions to our public utilities in each state.

*  Animals can very easily dies from the ingestion of small amounts of Butts.

*  Cigarettes are made from cellulose Acetate, which is a host for the Bioaccumulotoxins, which delivers those thousand of cancerous chemicals to everywhere humans exists, our environment!

This seems to be the decade of GREEN living, i hope this gives me my chance to form a group to make a great impact on the world!!

please re-post this to any Green person or smoker

					<description><![CDATA[Kol hakavod - both to Hanan for founding the organization, and to Karen for spreading the news!  It&#039;s about time smokers and non-smokers alike realize how even the smallest piece of litter can be so potent to our fragile earth.  I&#039;ve made a habit of keeping an eye out for people who throw their butts to the ground.  I swiftly pick up the butt, approach the offender and, loud enough for passersby to hear, confront them ever so innocently with a simple, clear: &quot;Excuse me, you dropped this.&quot;  Works nearly every time!]]></description>
