UNSMOKE Butt Blitz at Brantford General Hospital

Summary

This April, A Greener Future is challenging communities across Canada to help us collect 1 million cigarette butts. Why? Because that’s how many recycled butts it takes to build a real park bench through TerraCycle.

About This Opportunity

Cigarette butts are one of the most common - and most overlooked - forms of litter, accounting for 1 in 5 pieces of litter we find at our shoreline cleanups. The filters are made from plastics that leach into our soil and waterways as they break down. In fact, a single cigarette butt can contaminate up to 1000 litres of water!


By joining this cleanup, you’re not just removing toxic litter from the environment; you’re helping turn pollution into something lasting, useful, and public. Every butt collected at this event counts toward our national goal.


This event is in partnership with: Green Team Brantford
