What was it?
Could 1 million cigarette butts be collected along the coast of Portugal, celebrating a community that cares? An initial small butt pile appeared in Viana do Castelo and grew along the coast into a mountain as high as a child. Small acts matter, and a community can move mountains.
Where?
38 cities and beach areas along the Portuguese coast.
Who joined?
More than 600 people and 70 NGOs.
The wider ocean issue
Cigarette filters are made of plastic and leak poisons into water.
How you can take part
Host a butt pick-up with your school.
