Poison in cigarette butts.

Up to two thirds of smoked cigarettes are thrown on the ground. That's about 340 and 680,000 tonnes of toxic hazardous waste.

In butts we find arsenic, lead, chromium, copper, cadmium, formaldehyde, benzene and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, among others.

We force fish to drink this with every cigarette butt that is thrown on the ground.

**HSBI Share Rewards and Planet Token for using rubbish bins correctly

There is a challenge to use the rubbish bins properly. Unfortunately, it happens far too often that people just throw their rubbish, cigarettes or other things on the floor and leave them there.

This rubbish then goes somewhere, but not where it belongs.
You often see green parks in the city where rubbish patches have formed.

If we all dispose of our rubbish properly, we can already beautify a large part of these places without any effort.
In addition, the animals in nature are also better off. It is not there fault, but they eat some of it.

The challenge of @eddwood is about simply showing how to dispose of rubbish properly.
You don't have to write a long post. Just take a picture of how you dispose of your waste outside your own four walls.
Post the picture as a comment under the challenge and you're done.

With a bit of luck, others will see it and do the right thing.
Every waste that is disposed of correctly and does not end up in nature is a benefit for all of us.
