 March 24th 2010  -  Cigarette Little Prevention at Marinas

  Discarded cigarette filters not only create an unsightly mess and end up in waterways, but because they are actually plastic they can remain harmful to fish and other wildlife for decades. Marinas can tackle this litter problem through a partnership between Keep America Beautiful and the BoatU.S. Foundation. Last year Keep America Beautiful provided 30 marinas with cash grants to purchase cigarette ash receptacles and a supply of portable ashtrays for use on boats. These marinas were asked to install the receptacles, distribute the portable ashtrays, and educate their customers about the importance of proper disposal. As a result, these participating marinas saw an average reduction in cigarette litter of 70 percent. A total of 50 marinas are needed for 2010, and all they need to do to be considered for a cash grant for ash receptacles and ashtrays is complete a 20-question survey by April 16.
