They leach poison
Filters trap arsenic, lead, nicotine and over 7,000 chemicals. One soaked butt can contaminate up to 1,000 litres of seawater β deadly to fish larvae and plankton at the base of the Adriatic food chain.
A movement born on the Adriatic coast
Cigarette butts are the #1 litter item on our shores β and each one poisons the sea for up to 10 years. Butbutt turns smokers into allies with reusable pocket ashtrays and a petition the government can't ignore.
The problem
A cigarette butt looks harmless in the sand. It isn't. It's a bundle of plastic and concentrated toxins left exactly where the sea, wildlife and children play.
Filters trap arsenic, lead, nicotine and over 7,000 chemicals. One soaked butt can contaminate up to 1,000 litres of seawater β deadly to fish larvae and plankton at the base of the Adriatic food chain.
Filters are made of cellulose acetate β a plastic. They don't biodegrade; they crumble into microplastics that end up in mussels, fish, and eventually on our plates.
Montenegro's economy lives on its beaches. Littered sand drives visitors away and costs municipalities real money in clean-up β a bill every citizen pays.
Seabirds, turtles and fish mistake butts for food. Ingested filters block digestion and slowly release toxins into the animals that call our coast home.
The good news? This is one of the easiest pollution problems on Earth to solve β it just takes a pocket.
