The Keep Pearland Beautiful group is hosting the Cigarette Litter Awareness Day on Saturday, February 9th from 12pm-4pm.
The of the most amazing facts I learned while gathering information for this blog, is that the Keep America Beautiful's 2009 research found that the overall littering rate for cigarette butts is 65%, with tobacco products comprising 38% of all US roadway litter. Can you imagine! If smokers would only stop throwing cigarette butts out of the window of the car, dropping them into planters or throwing them in our lakes, we would have a huge reduction unsightly and unhealthy litter.
Our Keep Pearland Beautiful group works so hard to keep our City looking good! We need to get the word out to these smokers of the damage they are doing - maybe they aren't aware.
For more information, please call 281-652-1773. Keep Pearland Beautiful is a non-profit organization affiliated with Keep America Beautiful and Keep Texas Beautiful.
