Reducing Cigarette Butt Litter at Festivals, Functions & Events
It's easy with No BuTTs 'Mini-Butts' Personal Ashtrays!
Personal Ashtrays can reduce - and often eliminate cigarette butt litter at festivals, functions and events.
Every week more festivals, events, functions and campaign launches around the world are realising that reducing the cigarette butt litter created by their events at their locations is not only the right thing to do - it's also in their direct interest to do so.
That's not only great news for our environment, it's also very beneficial to companies and organisations who understand the importance of protecting their public image and profile from the damaging effects of Affiliated Butt Litter - that's the cigarette butt litter created by any event's attendees, visitors, guests, patrons, customers, etc - and even performers, staff & employees.
From a corporate publicity position of any festival, function or event, it doesn’t get much worse for their public image than the cigarette butt litter left behind at their event by their smokers. Afterall, it's their event that brought all those smokers there in the first place.
The vast majority of festivals & events use contract cleaners at their venues and locations, but the fact is that is simply impossible for your cleaners to pickup every single littered butt at your location. Even worse is that many of those butts quickly end up in our waterways via wind, rain and storm-water drains, and by then it's too late. Whether they're scattered around the countryside, or have found their way in to our waterways, cigarette butts are toxic to the environment and take between 4 and 15 years to breakdown.
Littered cigarette butts also present a serious fire risk.
But it need not be. No BuTTs philosophy is that prevention is much better than the cure - and that's because there is no cure... Over 99% of littered cigarette butts are never recovered, and leach their toxins into the environment for years.
"Not providing personal ashtrays to attendees and staff at music festivals and the like is basically akin to telling the planet to get stuffed. We agree completely with No BuTTs. The world is not an ashtray." - Mike Robinson, Apollo Bay Music Festival
Mini-Butts Personal Ashtrays (aka Portable Ashtrays, Pocket Ashtrays or Butt Bins) don't just reduce cigarette butt litter - they can essentially eliminate it no matter where the smoker may be. Mini-Butts are very cool, (and a little 'cheeky') compact and easy to carry, melt-proof - and with a snap-lock lid that can't accidentally pop open. Mini-Butts personal ashtrays are changing the littering habits of smokers forever.
When logo printed, Mini-Butts become a sensational eco-friendly promotional product that will be seen, used and appreciated long after the smoker has left your event - and with the anti litter message being reinforced everytime they use their Mini-Butt personal ashtray from then on. The environment loves you.
Cigarette butt litter is a serious environmental problem, but the good news is that as govt, corporate and public awareness of the problem increases, we are beginning to win the battle to reduce, if not eventually eliminate the scourge of cigarette butt litter. We're going to have to do it smoker by smoker, but it's actually not that hard, and the journey is well under way. Research shows that once a smoker has received one of No BuTTs Butt Bins to use, over 98% of them stop littering their butts from that point on. Forever. That's good for all - and great for the environment.
Everyday more smokers are discovering Mini-Butts personal ashtrays - and changing their littering habits forever. Environmentally responsible participants at all levels are what’s making the difference.
No BuTTs about it.
