HEY! ASSHOLE! THE WORLD IS NOT YOUR FUCKING ASHTRAY!!
What's the problem? Doesn't your car have one? Couldn't find an empty Diet Coke can to put them in? Ignorant? Or do you simply NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE YOU AND YOUR DISGUSTING HABIT ARE MORE IMPORTANT?!!!

I spent about 5 minutes picking up a pile of cigarette butts in front of the store this morning. It doesn't look good if you're trying to cater to the athletic set when there are cigarette butts piled up in the doorway of your store. I did a little bit of research and found that:
- More than 4.5 trillion cigarette butts are littered every year
- Cigarette butts are not biodegradable- plastic filters and synthetic fibers in filters can linger in the environment for many, many years
- Cigarette butts, due to their size, typically end up getting washed into gutters, sewers, and eventually back into the water system where chemicals leach out, harming aquatic flora & fauna. Think there aren't enough chemicals in a single little cigarette butt? Try to imagine only 4.5 thousand of them in your local swimming hole! Think of just 10 years worth swirling around your local beach!

This is just one part of their solution, and I like it:
