Did you know that cigarette butts are litter too? Most people don't consider them litter, yet they are the most littered item in the world. It can take years for the filter of a cigarette to decompose, leaving a serious threat behind to birds and other animals. According to the National Fire Protection Agency, upwards of 90,000 fires every year in the United States alone are caused by cigarettes. Think about that before you toss your butt out the car window.
