If It Keeps People From Flipping Them Out The Car Window, Let's Do It
-
You recycle paper and plastic. You recycle cans and bottles. How about recycling cigarette butts? Turns out that putting cigarette butts into water creates a solution that protects pipes from corroding. Someone else makes them into clothing. Another company makes sealants and adhesives from them. So... why not recycle them? For one thing, one bill in New York would tack on a deposit to cigarettes, just like containers. And there's the matter that to be worth doing, there have to be a lot of people smoking, and that's not necessarily what we want, either.
