since a good step is taken to recycle buds of cigarettes because these buds increases a lot of solid waste pollution. By recycling them not only solid waste pollution will decreased, while paper which is used for making buds is also decreased so t...
yes the chemicals are extracted. The whole point is to have the litter be treated like toxic waste before they are put to use, to solve the littering problem.
Alcohols are used to extract the toxins, then acetone, liquefy and can be injected into ashtrays the look like a cigarette, a recycled paint can is put inside and the unit it maintained within the collection program to collect extract upcycle and ...
Can you recycle cigarette Butts while extracting the toxins in them??
Great Video, I just sent it on to a great team at STI, we love video.

- I am currently in a contest hosted by Timberland with there EarthKeepers site, to be a Change Agent, to help finance a great environmental cause...anyone that is environmentally conscious, please check out my site:
www.changents.com/ResponsibleSmokersAct
then register and "back" my "cause". If i get enough attention i might be able to make this life long dream of mine, come true. I was born on Earth Day of '78 and from about 13 years i have tried to gain interest in someone else to help for this non profit.
My organization hopes to educate on the environmental impact of cigarette litter. But what makes this idea unique, is that i want to collect cigarettes to make cigarette collection facilities out of them. which in turn print educational material on them....in a way a self-sustaining perpetual infrastructure.
Anyone that smokes or just hates cigarette litter or environmental hearted please join me and help make Responsible Smokers Act a reality
I am asking for obvious partners of sponsors, lawyers, accountants,web designers, graphic artist, photographers, environmental and civil servants, please if you think you can offer anything that would solve the problem of cancerous materials being littered by the trillions into everyday surroundings.
I will give anyone a chance to do there part for the Earth
If you have seen the movie Erin Brocovich. the environmental moral of that story is... Sometimes small doses, administered over a long time, makes our bodies absorb the same chemicals as if you where to smoke the original cigarette itself.
* Cigarette pollution cost millions to our public utilities in each state.
* Animals can very easily dies from the ingestion of small amounts of Butts.
* Cigarettes are made from cellulose Acetate, which is a host for the Bioaccumulotoxins, which delivers those thousand of cancerous chemicals to everywhere humans exists, our environment!
This seems to be the decade of GREEN living, i hope this gives me my chance to form a group to make a great impact on the world!!
please re-post this to any Green person or smoker

Mr.I.C. LEVENBERG-ENGEL said… - Hello MDavis-
I've been asked to give a lesson to classes of K-1 students in an after-school program. They chose the topic of litter in their community. I never thought of focusing on cigarettes until I read your comment on MaryMost's page. Any lesson plan ideas? Activities that might work with such young students? ***ic***

B. Marshall-Jones said… - I do not have any direct experience setting up a non-profit (yet). But I do have indirect experience working with many of them.
I also have some "Ecopreneurs" working with me to upgrade America's homes to solar energy with a long term residual income that can be funneled into your non-profit. It is a great way to have the sun fund your efforts. 5% of the solar energy rental from each person you support in to our solution, would be sent to you as a monthly residual income for 25 years. There is much more to know.
Either visit my website or give me a call with questions.
Peace,

Recycling Cigarette Butts
I am trying to start a nonprofit to cure the problem of cigarette pollution. While educating on the repercussion of the act of littering, this mission is to provide proper places for disposal. The goal is to make Public ashtrays that are designed to educate, but the key is to “shock and aw” the smokers by making this device from the cigarette butts itself. Of course there will be refining steps to remove all the bad chemicals. But through grants like the EPA's P2I2 Pollution Prevention and Educa… Continue
