ABOUT NO MORE BUTTS
Our Vision
"A butt free environment"
No More Butts sees a future where tobacco waste is not carelessly littered into the environment.
This could ultimately be through the removal of the plastic tobacco filters from production, or through education, infrastructure and clean-ups.
Our Mission
No More Butts encourages and delivers awareness campaigns on the impact of littering cigarette butts, with the aim to make people think twice before carelessly discarding their butts. As a charity, we assist in the beautification and regeneration of our natural environment, through participation or coordination of clean-up events. We work with research institutes to investigate potential uses for cigarette butts and advocate for the ban of tobacco filters..
Our Approach
• Re-educate - We re-educate people, businesses, government and organisations on the importance of correct disposal, options for awareness programs and infrastructure and we advocate for the removal of tobacco filters, through a science based approach.
• Remove - We advocate for a ban on plastic tobacco filters to remove cigarette butts from the environment.
•Research - We work across research institutes to identify potential recycling methods and investigate the impact of novel products.
• Retrieve - We retrieve cigarette butts from where they have been discarded. This promotes the preservation and recovery of the natural environment. As a charity, No More Butts partners with other organisations to coordinate events and we collect and share data.
Our Team
Our charity is comprised entirely of volunteers - from those that pick up butts and coordinate events, to those that manage social media and business and government engagements. The Directors of No More Butts are also volunteers. Visit our Volunteer page to see the current opportunities that exist.
