Because Ash Trays Are So Complicated To Use
-
Everyone has their pet peeves, and this Connecticut teen's peeve is cigarette litter. He's started a campaign with his cousins to clean up the butts and try to get smokers not to throw the butts out their car windows or on the sidewalk. His reasons are environmental -- the filters don't easily degrade, they harm fish and other aquatic life, they get eaten by birds -- but I can add one other thing: If you smoke and throw your butt out the window in a dry area, you can start a brush fire that can destroy homes and lives. I see idiots flipping their butts out their car windows around here, and we're in a wildfire zone and we do on occasion have nasty fires. It's insane. (WTIC-TV/Hartford)
