Green Livin Cigarette Butt Litter

Green Livin Only smokers can stop cigarette butt litter.

Whether by habit, lack of resources or lack of caring, not enough is happening to reduce the amount of litter. Cigarette butt litter is still around 50% of all the litter.

Reusable and fire-resistant, the pocket ashtrays are designed to make it easy for smokers to do the right thing with their cigarette butts.

Research shows that many new cars no longer have ashtrays, so more smokers are throwing cigarette butts out of car windows where they can cause roadside fires. Recent tests showed that for every 1,000 smouldering butts that are discarded, 40 fires could result.

To combat this Planet Ark, Clean Up and Landcare have distributed half a million Go Green pocket ashtrays into 1,000 Coles Myer retail stores.

So, purchase a Go Green BUTTsOUT pocket ashtray for the great outdoors and:

1. Keep our beaches and waterways clean


2. Reduce the risk of bushfires


3. Help protect our wildlife and vegetation


4. Stop the littering of 7 billion butts


5. Avoid butt littering fines

The $1.59 Go Green BUTTsOUT pocket ashtray is available now in 1,000 Coles and Bi-Lo supermarkets and selected Coles Express, Liquorland, Theo's and Vintage Cellars retail stores.
Ten cents from each ashtray sold is donated to Planet Ark, Clean Up and Landcare.
