Did
you know one cigarette butt per litre of water can kill the fish in a stream?
The Butt Blitz is an open event that anyone in Canada can join. Participants
can either attend a local event where there will be an organized cigarette butt
cleanup with Coordinators running the event, or participants can collect butts
on their own and drop them off to the coordinator. The goal of the event is to
remove as much cigarette butt litter from our ecosystems across Canada as
possible during a one day Butt Blitz event and send the butts to TerraCycle
Canada for recycling. We also hope to raise awareness of the negative impacts
that cigarette butt litter has on ecosystems and health.
