Information
Did You Know ... 
Cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate tow, not cotton, and can take decades to degrade.  Not only does cigarette litter ruin even the most picturesque setting, but the toxic residue in cigarette filters is damaging to the environment, and littered butts cause numerous fires every year, some of them fatal.
