I am a smoker, and have been for a long time. It annoys me very much to see cigarette butts in the street, on the beach, on the ground, etc. I guess it is ignorance to blame. A removable ashtray in the car is a simple solution. If the college insists on trying to have a smoke-free campus, they should make their students aware of the effects of littering of any kind. These little cig filters are not just ugly, various species see them as food, which is obviously not a good thing. Surely these young people would respond to a campaign based on respecting and sharing their environment?
