 | We need your help! Cigarette butts are the single most recovered items from beach and urban environmental cleanups, and the filters do not biodegrade. We have found they are toxic to fresh and saltwater fish and other organisms, and there are many reports of butt consumption by animals. We are currently seeking information regarding cigarette butt consumption by marine life, including birds, mammals, turtles, fish, etc. If you have any information regarding this issue please contact us.Thank you! |
