We just finished a service project through dosomething.org on September 9th! We were so excited to finally get around Holton and...pick up cigarette butts. Yes, I know, that doesn't sound like great fun. You know what's WORSE than picking up cigarette butts? Drinking water that has been polluted by cigarette butts. If you put a cigarette butt in an 8 liter tank and put a fish in the water, the fish would DIE.
Not only this, but wildlife often mistake cigarette butts for food and are poisoned through consumption of the toxins in cigarette butts.
We picked up more than 1750 cigarette butts, but there were plenty more that we didn't pick up. We challenge you to #finishit and dispose of your cigarette butts properly.

This project was very easy, and was effective in tangibly showing us the impact we were making. A story about this project was even published in this year's yearbook! Because we loved this project so much, we've got another cigarette butt pick up scheduled for the spring, so be on the lookout for released dates! We'd love to have you join us in our battle against stinky (cigarette) butts.
