Our Beaches are Not Ashtrays

"At Ohio Street Beach (Chicago), 57,066 pieces of litter — nearly a ton — were collected April through October from 2003 to 2014. Of that total, 41.9 percent of items collected was cigarette butts, even though smoking has been prohibited along the lakefront since 2007 and in all city parks since 2014." - excerpt from article in the Chicago Tribune.
